Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the chicken, carrots and sweet potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle on the paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, chili powder, salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Toss with clean hands to coat the chicken, sweet potatoes and carrots evenly in spices.
Add chicken and veggies to the prepared baking sheet and spread out in an even layer ensuring that chicken isn’t touching the veggies and that the chicken is skin side up. You do not want to overcrowd your pan.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring veggies halfway through, and cooking until chicken is fully cooked and reads 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer. If you want extra crispy skin, once done cooking, you can place the chicken under the broiler and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until nice and golden brown. (Just be sure to watch carefully to prevent burning!)
While the chicken and veggies cook, place quinoa, water and salt in a medium pot and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Once quinoa is done cooking, remove from heat, fluff with a fork and place the lid back on to allow the quinoa to stay warm and steam in the pot for 5 to 10 more minutes.
To serve: Add about ½ heaping cup of the quinoa to one side of a shallow bowl then add roughly 1 cup of arugula and ½ cup of cabbage to the other side. Drizzle arugula and cabbage with just a little of the spicy green feta sauce, if desired. Top the quinoa with the chicken and 1/4th of the veggies. Drizzle each piece of chicken with about 2 teaspoons of hot honey, then garnish with 1 to 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta, lemon zest and a little fresh chopped cilantro and parsley. Serve extra spicy green feta on the side for dipping and drizzling! Get a little bit of everything with each bite.

Notes

If you prefer, you can serve this dish with cooked orzo, pearl couscous or even brown rice.
This recipe also works with boneless skinless chicken thighs, but I love how flavorful and crispy the bone-in chicken gets. As always, up to you!
