Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by seasoning the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add chicken and sear for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes; toss with olive oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy.
  3. Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine with water in a saucepan, bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing.
  4. Combine coleslaw mix or fresh cabbage and carrots in a bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss until coated. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk honey and mustard until smooth. Optionally, add cayenne pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble your bowl: start with quinoa, layer sliced chicken, sweet potatoes, coleslaw, drizzle with dressing, and top with crispy fried onions.
