Ingredients

2 lb bone-in chicken thighs
3 large carrots
1 to large sweet potato
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup quinoa
2 cups filtered water
1/2 tsp kosher salt
4 cups baby arugula
2 1/2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
lemon zest
spicy green feta sauce
3 tbsp hot honey (optional)
1 1/2 oz feta

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and rinse the quinoa while peeling and cutting the carrots and sweet potato.
Toss the chicken, carrots, and sweet potato with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, chili powder, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan.
Bake the sheet pan for 30 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165 F and the vegetables are tender.
Simmer the quinoa, water, and salt in a covered 2-quart saucepan for 15 minutes, then let it stand for 5 minutes.
Mix the arugula, red cabbage, feta sauce, lemon zest, parsley, cilantro, and hot honey if using.
Fluff the quinoa and combine it with the greens, then serve it with the roasted chicken and vegetables.
