Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 apples, diced
- 4 cups kale, chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
