- •Sweet Potato, Baked, Flesh Only
Any sweet potato works. Medium = ~130g. Microwave 5-6 min to speed prep.
- •3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Kale(1920g)
- •Garlic(15g)
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless

Instructions
- 1Heat the olive oil in a very large, very deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium high. Add the sweet potatoes, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften and turn golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- 2Stir in the kale a few handfuls at a time, until it is all wilted and fits in the skillet (this may take a few minutes). Let cook, stirring very frequently, until the kale is tender, about 6 additional minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 additional minute.
- 3Stir in the chicken. Next, stir in the balsamic vinegar, sage, thyme, and cranberries. Crumble half of the goat cheese over the top, then stir so that it melts and becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese over the top, then serve hot over rice.
