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:

  1. In a large skillet, heat half the coconut oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes.

  2. Add mushrooms, pepper and onions and sauté another 2 minutes.

  3. Add the remaining ingredients except for the kale and almonds, stir well, bring to a simmer and cook another 2 minutes.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
