Here is what you will need:
Ingredients: Cooking spray of choice (I love coconut oil spray)12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast1/2 bunch organic kale3 cloves garlic, chopped coarsely 3 cups cooked white beans or 2 cans1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes1 tsp dried organic thyme1/4 cup roasted, unsalted whole almonds, roughly chopped
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 13x9-inch backing dish with cooking spray.2) Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch cubes. Chop kale and garlic. Drain beans. Add chicken, kale, beans, tomatoes, with juice, thyme and garlic to the baking dish. Season with salt (in moderation) and pepper and stir to combine. 3) Bake 30 minutes (until hot and bubbling). Divide the into four plates and sprinkle the top with almonds. Serve!
I have to say, the almond crunch was amazing. I loved that my kids (and hubby) actually ate kale, beans, and tomatoes with their chicken. I'd say this is a must try for your winter recipe rotation. I can't wait to tweak it a few more times and try different ingredients to make it seasonal with what is at the local farmers markets this spring!
Is this a recipe you will try? What is your favorite way to get kale into your dinners?
