Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss diced sweet potato in 1 tablespoon of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on baking sheet. Place pecans on separate baking sheet and place both in oven. Cook pecans for 4 minutes and cook sweet potatoes for 18 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes are in the oven, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat with one tablespoon of oil and one tablespoon of water. Place chicken in pan and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even browning. Cook to internal temperature of 170°F.
- When chicken is cooked, move it to one side of the pan and place in kale, one handful at a time until cooked down. Place one tablespoon of water in pan and cover for 30 seconds to one minute.
- Remove cover and add in quinoa, salt and pepper, apples, and sweet potatoes. Mix well.
- Top with pecans and goat cheese.
