KALE + QUINOA + SWEET POTATO + CHICKEN BOWL
This is seriously one of the best tasting bowls you can make. The fresh lemon on the chicken and kale really puts this over the top.
INGREDIENTS:
-
2+ lbs. Chicken Tenderloin
-
3+ lbs. Sweet Potato
-
2+ bunches of fresh Kale
-
3+ cups (dry) White Quinoa
-
Avocado Oil
-
1 Fresh Lemon
-
Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
-
Black Peppercorn Grinder
-
Goya Adobo
PREPARATION:
-
First rinse your quinoa then toss the quinoa into your rice cooker, or your preferred method of cooking quinoa. Do this first as it will take the longest.
-
Follow the instructions for roasting your sweet potatoes here.
-
Follow the instructions for preparing your cast iron chicken tenderloin here, except substitute the seasonings for fresh ground black peppercorn, and Goya Adobo.
-
Rinse and remove stems from the kale and then chop into roughly 2 to 3 inch sized pieces.
-
Cut the lemon into quarters. One quarter will get squeezed into each serving of the bowl.
BUILDING THE BOWL:
-
Quinoa goes in first. 175 grams of cooked quinoa.
-
Kale next, 20-25 grams raw chopped kale. This will be a lot actually because kale weighs practically nothing.
-
Add 100 grams of the roasted sweet potatoes.
-
A quick 1 second spray of your avocado oil on top of the potatoes and kale for some moisture and taste.
-
Top with 115+ grams of your cast iron chicken tenderloin.
-
Finish with squeezing the lemon quarter you prepared to add a little bit of citrus flavor.
