Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt divided
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (10 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size strips
  • 1 cup sliced red and/or green bell pepper
  • ½ cup sliced onion
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice divided
  • ½ cup bulgur
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro divided
  • ½ 15 ounce can reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed
  • 1 5-ounce package baby kale or spinach
  • ½ cup fresh salsa

Equipment

  • large rimmed baking sheet
  • Small Bowl
  • small saucepan
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Combine chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  3. Place sweet potatoes on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture. Toss to coat.
  4. Combine chicken, bell pepper, and onion on the other side of the pan. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer.
  5. Bake until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is no longer pink inside (165 degrees F), 18 to 20 minutes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lime juice. Stir gently, keeping the sweet potatoes and the chicken mixture separate.
  6. Meanwhile, cook bulgur according to package directions. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and stir with a fork. Warm beans in a small saucepan.
  7. Divide kale (or spinach) among 4 serving dishes. Arrange the bulgur, chicken mixture, sweet potatoes, and beans on top. Top with salsa and the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro.
