Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss chicken, carrots, and sweet potato with olive oil, spices, salt, and pepper.
Spread on sheet pan with chicken skin-side up and vegetables in a single layer.
Roast for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender.
While roasting, rinse quinoa and add to pot with water and salt. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff and let steam another 5-10 minutes, covered.
To serve, plate quinoa, arugula, and cabbage. Top with chicken and veggies. Drizzle hot honey and garnish with feta, lemon zest, parsley, and cilantro.
Notes
You can swap chicken thighs for boneless or use pre-cut vegetables to save time. Broil chicken briefly after roasting for crispier skin.
