Steps:
- In a food processor, combine the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Line a small baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Set aside.
- In a non-stick pan over medium heat, combine the hazelnuts, sugar and cayenne. Stir with a silicone spatula until the sugar has melted and sticks to the nuts, about 5 minutes; turn down the heat to prevent burning if needed. Spread the sticky nuts out on the foil-lined sheet to cool. When the nuts are cool enough to handle, break them up by hand.
- Stem the kale and chop well. Using a mandoline, shred the Brussels sprouts, discarding the tough ends. Combine both in a large salad bowl. Add the hazelnuts, quinoa, pomegranate seeds, green onions and cheese. Dress to your liking and serve immediately.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use a combination of sweet, savory, and spicy ingredients in your spice rub.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use a variety of leafy greens and vegetables in your salad to add texture and flavor.
- Top the salad with a flavorful dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs.
Conclusion:
This flavorful and nutritious recipe is perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal. The tender chile rubbed chicken breast pairs perfectly with the roasted vegetables and quinoa. The dressing adds a bright and tangy touch to the salad. This recipe is a great way to enjoy a healthy meal without sacrificing flavor.
