Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Kale Bowls
Healthy meals don't have to be boring. These Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Kale Bowls are loaded with flavorful roasted veggies and topped with a quick homemade mustard dressing. This is a healthy meal that I look forward to.
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Sweet Potato
- 1 tablespoon of Butter
- ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 cup of Sriracha Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- about a teaspoon of Olive Oil
- 1 ½ cups of Chopped Kale
- 2 tablespoons Blue Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Crasins
- 1 tablespoon Pepitas
For the Mustard Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- a dash of Sriracha
- Sea Salt
- Black Pepper
Instructions
- Heat your own to 375 degrees. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into one inch cubes. Melt the butter and pour it into a large bowl with the potatoes. Add the salt and pepper, and then stir to evenly coat the potatoes. Pour the potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the potatoes for about 40 minutes, until soft.
- Next, prepare the Sriracha Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
- Now, prepare the chicken. Season it with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat, and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the chicken in the hot pan, searing the first side for 2 minutes. The flip the chicken and sear the second side for a minute. Then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let the chicken continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Once it is fully cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes and then dice it.
- To prepare the mustard dressing just mix up all of the ingredients. I like to do this in a small mason jar so that I can save any extra dressing.
- Once the sweet potatoes, broccoli, chicken, and mustard dressing are ready, it's time to assemble the bowls! I like to start with a handful of kale, and then I add a scoop of broccoli, and a scoop of chicken. Then I add craisins, blue cheese, and pepitas. I finish things off by drizzling the mustard dressing on top. Yum!
Notes
I prepared everything in advance, and then when it was time for dinner I just heated up the sweet potato, broccoli, and chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I filled the counter with all of the other toppings and we each got to assemble our own salad bowls! And then we watched Scandal, and course, sipped some red wine.
