Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast strips (1/2-inch thick)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 large bunch of kale (approx. 12 ounces), stems discarded and leaves chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the chicken strips to the skillet, season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Sauté until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Sauté until the onions start to soften, about 2 minutes.

Make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.

Step 3: Cook the Kale

Stir in the chopped kale, dry white wine, and a pinch of salt.

Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender and has absorbed the flavors.

Step 4: Combine and Season

Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and freshly squeezed lemon juice, then stir to combine everything thoroughly.

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
