Recipe of the Day: Chicken w/ Cumin and Kale

Another of my favorites.  This is more paleo, and I will be posting more paleo style meals as I seem to do much better on less grains.  


Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp sea salt (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbs coconut oil
• 1 bunch kale, removed from woody stems
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted

Instructions:

1.  Combine chicken, cumin, chili powder, sea salt (if desired), and garlic in a medium bowl until chicken is fully coated.

2.  Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil.

3.  When pan is hot, add chicken (it should sizzle). Brown the chicken and stir occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).

4.  Add kale leaves and red pepper. Stir and continue to cook until chicken is 165° F, and vegetables are slightly tender (about 5 more minutes).

5.  Serve hot, topped with toasted almonds.
