If there’s one thing I love in life, it’s a good bowl of stuff.
I love cooking a variety of tasty foods and just assembling them all together in a bowl. This time, I added fresh roasted garlic to the mix. Let me start with a how-to:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Grab a whole head of garlic and cut the end off, leaving its’ cloves and skin intact (mine fell apart, it’s okay if it does!).
3. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Wrap in aluminum foil, and bake for about 40 minutes.
5. When ready, squeeze the garlic out of its skin like toothpaste!
This bowl was bursting with flavor, and my whole family loved it. If you have time, marinate the chicken ahead of time in extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. This is the simplest marinade, and it always seems to give the chicken a great flavor. Two hours before cooking is fine.
I divided the roasted garlic in half. One half was used for sautéing mushrooms, while the other half was used in sautéing kale. Each worked perfectly with the garlic, but anything in this recipe can be replaced with whichever food you prefer! The perfect bowl (in my opinion) contains a protein, a green, a vegetable, a carb, and toppings. The cilantro, scallions and cashews were a heavenly trio to finish out the meal.

YUMMM! My go-to healthy dinner is usually chicken breast, sweet potatoes and some type of greens. I love the added roasted garlic! I’ll have to try that next time.
