Prep / Cook Method

  1. Marinate chicken with olive oil, balsamic, salt, chili powder, pepper, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes, season, and roast at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway.
  3. Cook quinoa in broth according to package directions.
  4. Mix cabbage, carrot, mayo, dijon, honey, vinegar, lime juice, and seasonings to make the slaw.
  5. Grill or grill-pan chicken over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes per side until blackened and cooked through; rest, then chop.
  6. Whisk olive oil, dijon, honey, vinegar, salt, and red pepper flakes to make the hot honey dressing.
  7. Assemble with quinoa, chicken, sweet potatoes, slaw, and dressing.

Finish + Service

  • Top with crispy shallots if available.
  • Best built as a composed plate or meal-prep bowl.
  • Store dressing separately for cleaner service and better texture.

Holding / Reheat / Catering Notes

  • Hot-hold only if the item protects texture and food safety.
  • Keep sauces/garnishes separate when texture matters.
  • Confirm final internal temperature and service window before dispatch.
  • For off-site catering, pack garnish/sauce components separately when quality improves service.

Scaling Notes

  • Scale ingredient quantities proportionally unless the chef adjusts seasoning, acid, spice, or thickening by taste.
  • For large catering batches, produce a small test batch or chef-taste checkpoint before full run when time allows.
  • Record final batch yield after production so the recipe can be tightened on the next cleanup pass.
