Harvest Grain Bowl with Chicken

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a parchment-lined sheet tray, add the frozen butternut squash, salt, pepper & a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to evenly coat & spread into an even layer on one side of the tray. Add the frozen chicken to the other side. Roast in the oven for 18-20 min, flipping halfway.

Step 2

As the squash cooks, wash the kale & strip the leaves from the stem. Roughly chop the leaves & transfer to a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. Using clean hands, massage the oil into to the kale to soften & tenderize.

Step 3

Clean & quarter the apple. Remove the core & seeds. Dice into small cubes.

Step 4

Heat the rice according to package instructions.

Step 5

Remove the chicken & butternut squash from the oven. Dice the chicken if desired.

Step 6

In a bowl, add the massaged kale in an even layer. Top with diced apples, butternut squash, chicken & warm rice. Add crumbled goat cheese & season everything to taste. Serve with balsamic vinaigrette & enjoy!
