Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb sweet potatoes, cubed
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp hot honey
  • ½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp hot honey
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • dash black pepper
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup quinoa, dry

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Cut the chicken and sweet potatoes into cubes. In a mixing bowl, season chicken with the marinade ingredients including the spices and olive oil. Toss until coated.
  2. Add sweet potato cubes to one-half of the sheet pan in a single layer and coat with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Add seasoned chicken in an even layer on the other side. Cook for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165℉ (75°C) and sweet potatoes are fork tender.
  3. While the chicken and sweet potatoes roast, rinse the quinoa and cook according to package instructions.
  4. For the purple cabbage coleslaw, shred the cabbage and carrots and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the coleslaw dressing ingredients and add the cabbage and carrots, mixing well.
  5. To make the hot honey sauce, whisk together the Dijon mustard, hot honey, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and salt and pepper in a mason jar or small bowl.
  6. To assemble bowls, add quinoa, coleslaw, chicken, and sweet potatoes to each bowl. Drizzle hot honey mustard sauce on top.
