How To Make The Sweetgreen Chicken Pesto Parm Recipe
The roasted chicken
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix the chicken breasts in a bowl, with olive oil and umami seasoning.
Place them onto a lined baking sheet and cook in the oven for at least 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The chicken should be at least 165 degrees F internally, if you are checking the temperature.
Once ready, slice the chicken into bite-size cubes.
The roasted broccoli
Mix broccoli with olive oil, red pepper flakes, and umami seasoning. Transfer them to a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. You can cook both the broccoli and chicken at the same time, at the same temperature.
The salad
Put water in a pot over a medium heat and leave to boil. Add quinoa when the water is boiling. Now cover and turn to a low heat and leave to cook for around 20 minutes. Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half or quarters; whichever you'd prefer.
The Za'atar breadcrumbs
Add slices of bread to a food processor and pulse until they become small breadcrumbs. Transfer them into a small pan and cook them over a medium heat. Now, add olive oil and za'atar to the pan. Stir and continue cooking until the breadcrumbs are toasted.
Pesto vinaigrette
Add the olive oil, umami seasoning, basil, apple cider vinegar, and garlic to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Put spinach and quinoa into a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and mix them together well.
Divide the greens between 2 bowls and top each with roasted chicken, roasted broccoli, cherry tomatoes, za'atar breadcrumbs, and parmesan.
