Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 2: Roast Sweet Potatoes

Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and tender.

Step 3: Cook Quinoa

While sweet potatoes roast, cook the quinoa: Bring water and salt to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Step 4: Season Chicken

Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5: Cook Chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 6: Prepare Slaw

For the slaw, combine shredded cabbage, carrot, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss and let sit for at least 10 minutes to soften.

Step 7: Mix Dressing

Whisk together the hot honey mustard dressing ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8: Assemble and Serve

To assemble, divide quinoa among four bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, chicken, and red cabbage slaw. Drizzle generously with hot honey mustard dressing. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure even roasting, make sure the sweet potatoes are cut into similar-sized cubes. You can also adjust the hot sauce quantity in the dressing for a milder or spicier version depending on your taste preference.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with extra-firm tofu that has been pressed and cubed. You can also experiment with different grains like brown rice or farro if quinoa is not available.

Serviervorschläge

Serve the bowl with sliced avocado or a handful of chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness. For extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds on top before serving.
