Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes and julienned carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; roast for 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 2: While vegetables roast, whisk together balsamic vinegar, apple cider, Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Step 3: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Add chicken breast slices, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Step 4: Massage kale with 1 tsp vinaigrette until tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Arrange roasted vegetables, chicken, and kale on a plate, drizzle with remaining vinaigrette, and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds and crumbled feta.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep packed kale from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Warren's Harvest Grain Bowl?

How do I scale Warren's Harvest Grain Bowl for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
