# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on half of the baking sheet.
03 - Drizzle chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place on the other half of the baking sheet.
04 - Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping sweet potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are tender and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
05 - Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
06 - Massage chopped kale with a drizzle of vinaigrette in a large bowl until slightly softened, approximately 1 minute.
07 - Divide kale among 4 serving bowls. Top each with roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, apple slices, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted almonds.
08 - Drizzle each bowl with remaining balsamic vinaigrette before serving.
