• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. • Let cool for at least 5 minutes.

• Meanwhile, remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces. Halve, core, and thinly slice half the apple (whole apple for 4 servings).

• Place kale in a large bowl and lightly season with salt. Using your hands, massage kale (similar to how you would knead dough), until leaves are tender, 30-60 seconds. TIP: To make kale even more tender, add a drizzle of olive oil along with salt before massaging.

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. • Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes. Swap in beef for chicken. Cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side.

• Add cranberries, roasted carrots, and sliced apple to bowl with kale. Season with salt and pepper. • Reserve a half packet of dressing (whole packet for 4 servings) in a small bowl for serving. Drizzle salad with remaining dressing to taste; toss to combine.

• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide salad between bowls and top with chicken. Drizzle with reserved dressing. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and serve. Thinly slice beef against the grain. Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
