Ginger Citrus Chicken
Ingredients:
4 tbsp coconut oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut to bite size
1/2 cup sliced white mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 green onions, diced
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Juice from 1 medium orange
1 tbsp dried basil
1 small jalapeno, remove seeds and mince
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
1 bunch kale, remove tough stems and dice
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Instructions:
In a large skillet, heat half the coconut oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes.
Add mushrooms, pepper and onions and sauté another 2 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the kale and almonds, stir well, bring to a simmer and cook another 2 minutes.
Remove all ingredients from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the remaining coconut oil and kale and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
Serve the chicken on top of the kale, adding a sprinkle of almonds on top.
Tip:
I always use the tough stems of the kale, but have found that you have to cook them longer than the leaves with some moisture. I factor that in so none of my precious super food goes to waste.
