Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Rub 4 boneless skin-on chicken thighs with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  2. Step 2: While chicken roasts, warm 6 cups bone broth in a large pot over low heat.
  3. Step 3: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms for 5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Assemble each bowl by placing 1/2 cup cooked quinoa at the base, topping with handfuls of 3 cups mixed baby kale and spinach, 1/2 cup julienned carrots, and sautéed shiitake mushrooms.
  5. Step 5: Slice the roasted chicken thighs and arrange over the bowl. Ladle warm bone broth over the ingredients until partially submerged.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
