Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To a medium pot, add wild rice medley, half the Zesty Garlic Blend, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 20-24 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Roast sweet potatoes

  • Meanwhile, cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the top of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden. 

3
Cook chicken

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with remaining Zesty Garlic Blend, salt and pepper.
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high. When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.** (TIP: Keep the pan nearby! We'll use it in step 5).

4
Prep

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice radishes.
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Set aside. 
  • In a small bowl, stir together pesto and mayo. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 

5
Cook chickpeas

  • Heat the same pan (used in step 3) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chickpeas, Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until warmed through and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. 

6
Finish and serve

  • Add kale, spinach and radishes to the bowl with vinaigrette, then toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Fluff rice with a fork.
  • Slice chicken. 
  • Divide rice, sweet potatoes, kale salad and chickpeas between bowls. 
  • Top with chicken. 
  • Drizzle pesto-mayo mixture over top, then sprinkle with feta.
