Steps:
- Combine chicken and all the marinade ingredients in a big bowl. Stir to mix well. Let marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to mix well.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Sear until the bottom turns golden without moving it, 1 minute or so. Stir and flip to cook the other side, until turns golden, another minute or so. Transfer the cooked chicken pieces to a big plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are cooked through and the liquid evaporated.
- Add the bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger, and onion. Drizzle with a bit more oil if the pan looks dry. Stir and cook for a minute.
- Stir the sauce again to thoroughly dissolve the cornstarch and pour it into the pan. Stir a few times until the sauce thickens.

CHINESE STYLE CHICKEN WITH SAUTEED KALE& MUSHROOMS
I LOVE the chicken kale dish from panda express, but I unfortunately, do not have the money (or the body :) lol ) to eat out often. I came up with this little dish when I was craving panda express and you know what? I bet you wont even be able to tell the difference!

Steps:
- 1. Dice your chicken into bite size pieces. I start with semi thawed chicken breasts. Heat a deep skillet over medium heat
- 2. Spray non stick (you can use a small amount of oil) into skillet and add chicken. Mean while slice your mushrooms. Add them to the skillet once chicken starts to show only a small amount of pink
- 3. Wash your kale well then rip from the stems. You can chop the leaves but I just rip them with my hands. Add the kale to the skillet then turn to medium low heat and COVER! this is important for steaming. Cook about 5 minutes or until the kale starts to wilt and turns a rich green color
- 4. In a small bowl mix the seasoning, soy sauce, water and stevia. (You can use plain white sugar or even brown sugar. I use stevia as a slightly healthier option for this dish)
- 5. mix the seasoning well then pour into your skillet. Turn off the heat and stir the skillet well so that the seasoning is mixed thoroughly. Cover and let stand for just a minute or two. Serve and enjoy your homemade panda express!

Steps:
- Blanch the kale in a large pot of salted water until limp, about 2 minutes.
- Drain well, pressing to extract excess water. In a small bowl, blend the flour and butter until smooth.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonreactive skillet.
- Add the bacon and sauté over high heat until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.
- Pour the rendered fat into a small bowl.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the reserved bacon fat in the skillet. Separate the tenders from the chicken breasts.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the breasts to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until brown and crusty on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
- Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Brown the chicken tenders in another teaspoon of oil.
- Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover loosely with foil.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the mushrooms, shallots and 2 tablespoons of water, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
- Pour the wine into the skillet and cook over high heat, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits, until reduced to a few tablespoons.
- Add the chicken stock and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour paste and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until warmed through. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in any accumulated juices from the chicken.
- Wipe out the skillet and return it to high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1 more teaspoon of the bacon fat.
- Add the kale, season with salt and pepper and sauté until just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon and the lemon juice.
- Arrange the kale on 4 dinner plates. Top with the chicken breasts and mushroom sauce and serve.

KALE AND MUSHROOM SIDE
I make this at least twice a week for my family. It is a super easy and yummy way for us to get a good dose of our dark leafy greens. Macadamia nut oil is also good in place of grapeseed if you have it.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the chicken, kale, and mushrooms ahead of time to save time during cooking.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow you to easily stir-fry the chicken and vegetables.
- Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear and lock in the flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much food at once, it will steam instead of fry.
- Add the vegetables in stages: This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Season to taste: Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to taste.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
This Chinese-style chicken with sautéed kale and mushrooms is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
