Chicken Sweet Potato Kale Salad 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.

KALE & SWEET POTATO SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Add the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until the sweet potato is well-coated in the spices, then spread out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, or until tender.
• In a small bowl, add the pumpkin seeds, chili powder, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and salt, and mix until well-combined. Spread the pumpkin seeds out on a baking sheet so they're not touching each other.
• Add to the oven with the sweet potato and bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until toasted.
• In a liquid measuring cup, combine the tahini, remaining tablespoon of maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
• In a large bowl, drizzle the kale with olive oil. Massage with your hands until the kale is tender and has reduced in volume by about a third.
• Add the quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with tahini dressing and toss well.
• Serve with more dressing if desired.
• Enjoy!

KALE SALAD WITH CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and move to one half of sheet. Arrange chicken on other half. Bake until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature; chop chicken into pieces.
• In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss potatoes, chicken, and kale with dressing and sprinkle with almonds. 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.
