Meal Bite: Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Kale and Quinoa Bowl

Hi Busies!

Let’s talk sun-dried tomatoes for a minute.  Not gonna lie, I never really thought about how these were made – usually I’m too busy eating to ask any questions!  But, I did some research, and this just in – sun-dried tomatoes gained popularity when Italians dried them in the summer sun on the rooftops of their villas.  (On the rooftops.  Of their villas. *spends 15 minutes imagining my life as an Italian movie star in the 1960’s, eating poolside bruschetta made with sun-dried tomatoes from my rooftop*)  

Anyways, it’s a pretty luxurious life – they get to spend 10 days tanning in the Italian sun, and then get to end up as the star of any number of dishes – including this one!  

The (superfood) gang’s all here – kale, quinoa, and avocado, with pan-seared chicken and topped off with a delicious sun-dried tomato and almond sauce.  Part of the sauce gets stirred into the quinoa to make sure it’s there in every delicious bite!

Meal prep for this dish involves precooking the kale, quinoa, and chicken.  When it’s time to eat, just whip the sauce together and stir it into the quinoa before reheating.  Then garnish with (lots of) additional sauce!
