Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the quinoa. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water, then combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Wash and de-stem the kale, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Massage with a pinch of salt to tenderize, then set aside.
Core the apple and slice into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard to create the dressing.
To assemble the bowls, evenly divide the kale, quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and sliced chicken among four bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced apple, toasted almonds, and dried cranberries.
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over each bowl. Toss lightly to combine before serving.
