California Creamed Kale Recipe Recipe For Chicken

CHICKEN AND KALE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain; return to pot. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is beginning to soften, 4 minutes. Add kale, cover, and cook until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to pot with pasta.
• Stir in chicken, ricotta, lemon zest, and 1/2 cup Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; top with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until top is golden, 30 minutes.

KALE AND ARTICHOKE CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, squeeze out any moisture and dry very well.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken generously with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden on some sides and most of the pink is no longer visible, about 4 minutes (the chicken will not be fully cooked). Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add another tablespoon oil if the skillet is dry, then add the onion; season with a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to dissolve the flour, then stir in the chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer while stirring. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with another pinch each of salt and black pepper.
• Add the kale, artichokes and cayenne to the sauce, then add the chicken and any collected juices. Cook, stirring, until the kale and artichokes are hot and the chicken is just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup parmesan. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Preheat the broiler. Coat a 3-quart broiler-proof baking dish with cooking spray and add the casserole mixture. Top with the panko and remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Broil until golden brown in spots, about 3 minutes.

CREAMED KALE

Steps:

• Blanch the kale in lightly salted water until tender, rinse in ice water, drain and cut into 1/2-inch ribbons. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the kale, cream and nutmeg. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cream has reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

DELICIOUS CREAMED KALE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir kale and shallot until kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms, cream, Asiago cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper into kale mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer until cream has thickened and mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.

CREAMY KALE & CHICKEN TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the kale for 4 mins until tender. Rinse under cold water, squeeze dry with your hands, then whizz in a food processor with the lemon zest, mascarpone, garlic and seasoning.
• Cut a long slit in the side of each chicken breast, open it up and stuff with the creamy kale. Gently stretch each rasher of bacon and wrap three around each chicken breast.
• Toss the vegetables with the oil on a baking tray. Nestle the chicken on top, season and bake for 20-25 mins (depending on the size of the breasts), giving the veg a stir halfway through. Check the chicken is cooked, then place on a plate to rest, covered with foil. Cook the veg for 10 mins more, then serve with the chicken and lemon wedges.

CHICKEN AND KALE IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 chicken thighs and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken thighs onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onions and 1 pinch salt. Cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale and cook until slightly wilted, about 1 minute.
• Pour in heavy cream; season with salt and pepper. Return chicken thighs with their juices to the skillet, ensuring chicken is evenly distributed. Bring cream to a simmer. Cover and cook on medium-low for 8 minutes.
• Take the lid off of the skillet and flip chicken thighs. Increase heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until cream starts to thicken, about 4 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

CALIFORNIA CREAMED KALE-FUHRMAN

Steps:

• Remove the thick bottom of the stems from the kale and place the leaves in a large pot with steamer. Steam 10 minutes, until soft. Remove from steamer, placing in wooden chopping bowl. Press the kale together in the bowl with a dish towel and tilt over the sink to remove some of the excess water.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Chop the kale, mixing it with the cream sauce as you chop.
