A drizzle of hot honey boosts the flavor — and kick! — of these simple, satisfying grain bowls.
Step 1
Preheat heat oven to 375°F. Prepare quinoa according to package directions.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat chicken breasts with mixture and let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Place chicken on a sheet pan and cook for 25 minutes or until fully cooked through (165°F). Let chicken sit for 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato and cook for 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
Step 5
Divide quinoa between bowls, top with arugula, cabbage, sweet potatoes and chicken. Drizzle hot honey over chicken. Garnish with feta, if using.
