Apple Cheddar Chicken Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked farro, or sub with the grain of your choice
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • olive oil, for drizzling
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season
  • 4 cups shredded kale
  • 2 apples, diced (I like honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese, diced
  • 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
  • 4 cups chicken, shredded or diced, from a rotisserie chicken

Rosemary Cider Dressing

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook the farro as directed on the package.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss the diced sweet potato on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, until tender and browned.
  • In a large bowl, combine the kale with a drizzle of olive oil, pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper. Using your hands, rub the kale to soften it. It will go from rough and matte to softer and glossy.
  • To assemble, place about 1/2 cup of the cooked farro in 4 large dinner bowls. Divide the sweet potatoes, kale, diced apples, cheese, pecans, and chicken amongst the bowls. Serve with Rosemary Cider Dressing.
  • For Rosemary Cider Dressing, measure the cider vinegar into a 2 cup liquid measuring cup. Add the olive oil, yogurt, maple syrup, mustard, and rosemary. Whisk until combined and season well with salt and pepper.
