– 1 butternut squash– ½ pound brussels sprout– ¼ cup olive oil– 1 teaspoon salt– ½ teaspoon black pepper– 1 teaspoon dried oregano– ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg– ½ teaspoon garlic powder– 1 cup pumpkin seed– 2 tablespoon unsalted butter– ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg– 2 tablespoon brown sugar
Ingredient
1
Pre-heat your oven to 400℉. Mix the ingredients for roasted butternut squash in a large basin.
2
Bake the butternut squash on a large baking sheet for 20–30 minutes until golden brown.
3
Mix all the ingredients for the roasted pumpkin seeds in a medium dish and distribute them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
4
Beat the chicken breasts between two plastic wraps with a mallet until they're 1 inch thick. Be careful not to shred the meat by beating too long.
5
Pour balsamic dressing over the chicken in a shallow bowl or plate, flipping it to coat both sides. Leave the chicken marinating for 30–60 minutes.
6
Grill chicken breasts. Brush olive oil on the grill grates, then place the chicken and broil without moving until it gets grill marks and browns.
7
Cover the chicken with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
8
Sauté shallots and garlic for 3 minutes until transparent and aromatic. Add vinaigrette and water and simmer 2 more minutes.
9
Mix olive oil and salt thoroughly with kale. I also massage the kale for a minute with clean hands. This tenderizes kale.
10
Add the roasted butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, feta cheese, craisins, and dressing and mix thoroughly. Top salad with sliced chicken.
