Ingredients

  • 2 Just Bare Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 large apple, thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp works well, drizzle with lemon juice or other citrus juice to stop the browning process if you like)
  • 4 cups kale, chopped and stems removed
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the Just Bare® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  2. Roast the Butternut Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, apple slices, roasted butternut squash, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and honey, then toss to coat evenly.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the salad on plates and top with the sliced chicken and crumbled goat cheese. Serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant fall-inspired meal that showcases the flavors of the Northeast in the Fall.
