Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 12 ounces chicken apple sausage
  • 3-4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 3 cups chopped kale
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes diced
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts halved or quartered
  • 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 1 Honeycrisp apple
  • 1 cup garbanzo beans

Instructions
 

  • In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside in a bowl
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and garbanzo beans. Cover and sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • Remove the lid and add garlic, seasonings, and dry quinoa into the pot. Cover the mixture with 3 cups of broth, stir to evenly combine
  • Cover the skillet and simmer on medium to low heat. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If liquid is absorbed before quinoa is fully cooked, add up to 1 additional cup of broth
  • Once quinoa is cooked and fluffy, stir in the kale, chicken sausage, goat cheese, and apple. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the kale wilts and the cheese begins to melt.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately
