Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into bite-sized pieces Can substitute with turkey breast or chickpeas.
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Divided into two portions.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roasting
  1. Place the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
Cooking Chicken
  1. While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked through and golden on the outside.
  3. Add the chopped kale in the last two minutes of cooking to wilt it slightly.
Making Tahini Drizzle
  1. In a small bowl, mix the tahini, lemon juice, and a few tablespoons of water until smooth and creamy. The consistency should be pourable.
Assembly
  1. In a large bowl or individual serving plates, layer the cooked quinoa, followed by roasted sweet potatoes, kale, and chicken.
  2. Drizzle with tahini sauce and enjoy!

Notes

For extra protein, substitute chicken with diced turkey or chickpeas. Prepping ingredients ahead saves time during the week. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet with sweet potatoes for better roasting.
