  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C)
  2. Coat sweet potatoes with olive oil and place them face down on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Bake 35–40 minutes until tender.

Add ground chicken and brown 5 minutes or until it breaks up into little bits. Add half the salsa verde and simmer until sauce is almost entirely reduced. Add quinoa and mix well. Adjust seasoning and set aside.
