Chicken with Coconut Kale

Golden, juicy, thinly sliced pan-fried chicken swims in a creamy coconut-kale gravy-like situation with slips of shallot and a bit of heat. Super easy, minimal ingredients!

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut or pounded into thin pieces1 lb
  • all-purpose chicken seasoning (I use the McCormick Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning)2
  • avocado oil (divided)1.5 tablespoon
  • shallot, thinly sliced1
  • finely shredded curly kale, stems removed (about 3-4 stalks)2 cup
  • yellow curry paste (see notes for subs)1 tablespoon
  • can full-fat coconut milk1
  • soy sauce1 tablespoon
  • brown sugar1 tablespoon
  • rice
  • chili crisp or cilantro for garnish

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken: Coat the chicken with the spices. In a large nonstick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set chicken aside.

  2. 2

    Start the Coconut Kale: If needed, wipe your pan out (see notes). In the same pan, add 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil if needed. Saute the shallots, kale, and yellow curry paste for 5 minutes until everything is aromatic and tender.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Coconut Kale: Add all other sauce ingredients; simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken. When the sauce has thickened, tuck the chicken back in the sauce. Let it get gently bubbly and spoon the sauce over top.

  4. 4

    You’re Done! Yum! Sprinkle the whole thing with cilantro. Serve chicken with scoops of the sauce over rice! Finish with whatever toppings you like – for me it’s chili crisp!
