This bright and hearty salad is chock full of nutritious veggies, nutty sunflower seeds, and tender garlicky chicken. Crisp apples and roasted sweet potatoes join the kale and broccoli mix that’s tossed in a fresh lemon-Dijon dressing. Each bite is full of flavor and texture, needing only a final squeeze of lemon to bring it all together.

Instructions

Roast Sweet Potato
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice sweet potato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. • Toss sweet potato on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.

Toast Seeds
2

• Meanwhile, heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add sunflower seeds and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.

Prep
3

• Quarter lemon. Halve and core apple; thinly slice into half-moons.

• In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, 1⁄2 tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), a large drizzle of olive oil, juice from half the lemon, salt, and pepper until combined. • Add apple and kale mix to bowl with dressing; toss to combine. Set aside to marinate, tossing occasionally.

Cook Chicken
5

• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for sunflower seeds over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Finish Slaw Salad
6

• Add roasted sweet potato, sunflower seeds, and half the chicken to bowl with salad; toss to combine. • Taste and add more olive oil and lemon juice or season with more salt and pepper if desired.
