Ingredients

    3 cups (750 mL) split red lentils, cooked

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) smoked paprika

    1 tsp (5 mL) garlic powder

    1 tsp (5 mL) onion powder

    5 cups (1.25 L) kamut, cooked

    4 cups (1 L) whole red lentils, cooked

    2 ½ cups (625 mL) green onions, thinly sliced on a bias

    2 ½ cups (625 mL) avocado, mashed

    4 cups (1 L) Brussels sprouts, shaved

    4 cups (1 L) baby arugula

    ⅔ cup (150 mL) apple cider vinegar

    20 oz (625 g) cooked chicken thighs, shredded

    1 cup (250 mL) BBQ sauce


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss lentils in a bowl with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder and coat evenly. Spread out on a sheet tray and place in the oven for 15-20 mins to roast until crispy. Be sure to toss them in the pan every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. While the lentils are cooking, toss Brussels sprouts, arugula, and kamut in a large mixing bowl with apple cider vinegar and lentils. In a separate bowl, mix shredded chicken meat with BBQ sauce to coat.
  4. Divide greens and grain base evenly into 10 bowls. Garnish each bowl with a ¼ cup (60 mL) avocado, 2 oz (60 g) of BBQ chicken, ¼ cup (60 mL) of roasted lentils, and ¼ cup (60 mL) of green onions.
