Ingredients

3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 medium sweet potato, cut into ½-inch moons
1 bunch kale
1 cup riced cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
Half an avocado, for serving

Lemon Tahini Sauce:

3 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Water to thin

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Add chicken to a sheet pan and toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. To the same sheet pan, add sweet potatoes and toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, nutritional yeast, and remaining tsp of chili powder. Bake for 30 minutes.
While the chicken and sweet potatoes bake, remove the leaves of the kale from the stalk, tear them into bite-sized pieces, and massage them with a drizzle of olive oil.
To a saucepan add the riced cauliflower. Cook over medium-low until softened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine all the tahini sauce ingredients except the water. Stir to combine and add water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
When ready to eat, assemble the bowls by adding the massaged kale, cooked cauliflower rice, baked chicken and sweet potatoes, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with the lemon tahini sauce.
Serve and ENJOY!

Notes

This is a great meal prep option! Cook all the ingredients ahead of time and store in individual containers until ready to assemble.

I highly suggest making a big batch of this dressing because it’s truly that good! Any leftover dressing can be stored in the fridge for 3 days. Simply add a bit more water and stir to get the consistency you want!
