Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer and roast 5 minutes. Toss the kale in a large bowl with the garlic, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Add to the baking sheet with the potatoes and toss. Roast until the kale is crisp and the potatoes are tender, stirring once, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium and brush with olive oil. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Coat evenly with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Toss the kale, potatoes, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, the salad greens, tomatoes, Parmesan, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Divide the chicken among plates and top with any collected juices. Serve with the kale salad.
Tips:
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop the kale and vegetables in advance. You can also pre-cook the chicken and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Choose the Right Kale: For the best texture, use curly kale or Lacinato kale. These varieties have a more tender texture compared to other types of kale.
- Massage the Kale: Massaging the kale with olive oil and salt helps to soften the leaves and make them more pliable. This will make it easier to roll the wraps.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as this will make it dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Sauce It Up: Experiment with different sauces to add extra flavor to the wraps. Try a tangy lemon-tahini sauce, a creamy avocado dressing, or a spicy Sriracha mayo.
