2 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
4 Chicken Breasts
Salt and Pepper
a couple TB of flour (we used white, but whole wheat or almond would be ideal)Garlic- I use minced and probably added 2 TB
1 bunch of Kale or 1 bag kale, washed well
14.5 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
14.5 oz can low sodium chicken broth
-Preheat Oven to 325.
1-In dutch oven (to be honest, I didn’t know what that was. I used a big glass pot that was oven safe) on Medium High heat, add a little of your olive oil.
2-Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3-Put a little flour in a shallow dish and dredge your chicken through the flour. Repeat on both sides.
4-Cook around 2 minutes per side and remove from pan. Repeat steps 2-4 until you’ve done this process with all your chicken breasts.
5- Add in a little bit more olive oil and good your garlic around 20-30 seconds. Don’t let it burn. Add half of your kale and cook around 2-3 minutes, then add in the rest of the kale and cook 3 minutes.
6- Stir in tomatoes and chicken broth and then get that up to a boil.
7- Return your chicken to this big pot once it’s boiling.
8- Put the lid on your big pot and then put it in the oven (make sure your pot is oven safe first!) Cook at 325 degrees for 1 hr to 1 hr 15 minutes.
We LOVED this dish and I am NOT normally a fan of kale. We served it with a small bit of brown rice and a bunch of garden grown green beans. DELICIOUS!
I make something similar to this – though it's a simpler/quicker dish. I use chicken tenders, season and brown them in a large skillet. Once they are cooked done, I add a can of Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes, put a lid on the skillet and let it simmer on medium until most of the juice is absorbed. I serve this over brown rice.
