Ingredients

Serves 2

  • 100g chickpeas, drained and dried
  • 100g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Miso Dressing

  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp water
  • Salt to taste

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200c.
  2. Start by making your miso dressing, mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl and place covered in the fridge to chill until your salad is ready.
  3. Place chickpeas evenly onto a baking tray and add the sweet potato chunks and sliced chicken breast alongside them.
  4. Cover with a drizzle of olive oil and place into the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
  5. When the chicken is nearly cooked, place the kale into a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. This should be cooked but still vibrant green and with a slight crunch.
