Kale Salad With Chicken And Sweet Potato Recipes

SWEET POTATO, KALE & CHICKEN SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside. Toss sweet potatoes with oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast, turning once, until tender and lightly browned and crispy on the outside, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool before assembling bowls.
• Transfer 2 tablespoons peanut dressing into each of 4 small lidded containers; refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Divide kale among 4 single-serving containers (about 1 1/2 cups each). Top each with one-fourth of the roasted sweet potatoes and 1/2 cup chicken. Seal the containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Just before serving, drizzle each salad with 1 portion of peanut dressing and toss well to coat. Top with 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO, CHICKEN & KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook bacon in large skillet on medium heat. Remove; drain on paper towel; set aside. Sprinkle curry powder evenly on both sides of chicken breasts. Add to skillet; cook 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F). Set aside; keep warm.
• Add sweet potatoes to skillet; cook on medium-high heat 10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Stir in water, Garlic Paste, Lightly Dried Ginger, Jalapeno Paste and 1 tablespoon of the Lightly Dried Cilantro. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in balsamic vinegar.
• Toss kale with warm sweet potato mixture in large serving bowl. Slice chicken; layer over kale salad. Crumble bacon and sprinkle over top. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon Lightly Dried Cilantro. Serve immediately.

SPICY SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND KALE

Steps:

• In a large shallow mixing bowl, combine the harissa and yogurt. Pat the chicken dry, then season all over with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the yogurt mixture, gently rubbing until fully coated, and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place a rack in the lower third and one 6 inches from the broiler. On a sheet pan, toss the sweet potato, kale and onion with 3 tablespoons oil. Season with cumin, salt and pepper, massaging the kale as you do so. Clear four spaces for the chicken pieces, then place them skin-side up on the pan. (It may look messy and crowded, but the kale will shrink down as it cooks.)
• Roast on the lower rack, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway and rotating the tray, until the chicken skin is crispy and the juices run clear, the squash is tender and the kale is crispy. If the vegetables are done, but the chicken skin is not as crispy as you'd like, remove the vegetables from the sheet pan and place just the chicken under the broiler for another 1 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small serving bowl, combine the parsley, lime zest and half the lime juice with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and the red-pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and additional lime juice. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the herb oil to drizzle over top.
