  • 2 cups butternut squash, cubed (300 grams)
  • 1 medium red apple, chopped (200 grams)
  • 1/3 cup pearled farro, cooked according to package directions (67 grams)
  • 1/3 cup 50% less sugar Craisin dried cranberries (53 grams)
  • 1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (17 grams)
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper seasoning

Apple Cider Dressing

  • 2 tbsp apple cider (1 oz)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (1 oz)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (1 oz)
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard (1 oz)
  • 1/2 tbsp honey (0.25 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange butternut squash cubes in a single layer on baking sheet.  Drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil and toss.  Season with 1/2 tsp Oh My Spice! seasoning.  Bake for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Whisk all dressing ingredients until well combined.  Set aside.
  • Once farro is cooked according to package directions, toss with a splash of the dressing (~1 tbsp).
  • Massage kale gently with a splash of olive oil, if desired.  Divide evenly among 4 serving dishes.  Top with butternut squash, farro, chopped apple, and dried cranberries.  Set aside.
  • Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pan.  Season chicken on both sides with remaining Oh My Spice! seasoning, then add to hot pan.  Cover with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side before flipping and cover again.  After 3-4 minutes, remove cover and continue cooking uncovered until cooked through, flipping as needed to evenly brown both sides.  Time will vary depending on thickness of chicken.
  • Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and adding on top of salad. Top with dressing and roasted pumpkin seeds before serving.
