Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss together sweet potato with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Mix together seasoning for chicken, then sprinkle it on the breasts.
- After 20 minutes, take sweet potatoes out of the oven, toss, and then add the chicken to the same pan as the sweet potatoes. Bake both for another 16-18 minutes or until chicken reaches 165F.
- While baking, prepare vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients together.
- Add vinaigrette to kale and toss till full coated. Let sit at least 15 minutes. I use my hands to massage the kale and break down the leaves, the more you do this, the easier it is to eat.
- Layer on sliced apples, cooked chicken, sweet potatoes, goat cheese, pecans, and cranberries.
- Toss to coat! Enjoy
