Categories     Chicken     Kale     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (6 to 8 ounces)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 bunches kale, tough stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1 can (15.5 ounces) lentils, rinsed and drained
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, season with salt, and reduce to a bare simmer. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let chicken stand, covered, until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes more. Remove chicken from liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil and the lentils to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 20 seconds. Transfer to bowl with kale and add chicken; toss to combine. Divide evenly among four bowls, squeeze lemon wedge over each, and serve.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. The bitterness of the kale was balanced out by the sweetness of the leeks and the tanginess of the lemon.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think next time I'll cook it for less time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
