In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on the hot baking sheet and bake until tender and golden brown around the edges, 20-25 minutes.
  2. Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water and set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lime zest and juice, mango chutney, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few freshly ground black peppers.
  4. Drain the onions and add them to the bowl along with the kale, lettuce, chicken, and half the greens; toss to distribute evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide among plates and top with the sweet potatoes, sprinkled with cashews and the remaining greens.
