Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the sweet potato in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potato roasts, prepare the other ingredients. If not already cooked, cook the farro (or quinoa) according to package instructions, ensuring it is tender but slightly firm to the bite. Drain any excess water and cool slightly.
Thinly slice the red onion and cut the Granny Smith apple into thin matchsticks or cubes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby kale, cooked farro (or quinoa), shredded chicken breast, roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, and apples.
Drizzle the low-fat balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Divide the salad into two bowls. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of raw pumpkin seeds for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately as a fresh, low-fat, and healthy meal option.
