Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potato
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water or vegetable broth
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 4 cups Baby kale
- 1 large Fuji or Honeycrisp apple
- 1 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas, unsalted)
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil, then add the quinoa. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Wash and dry the baby kale. Thinly slice the apple into matchsticks or small bite-sized pieces.
To make the dressing, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl.
To assemble the bowls, start with a layer of baby kale in each bowl. Add a scoop of warm quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, apple slices, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
Drizzle each bowl with the balsamic vinaigrette and serve immediately. Enjoy your nut-free Sweetgreen-inspired Harvest Bowl!
