Chicken And Kale Risotto Recipes

CHICKEN AND KALE RISOTTO

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F.
• 2. Line a baking tray with foil and put the chicken breasts and the sliced bacon on it. Drizzle the with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
• 3. Then take the tray out and add kale, onion, and pine nuts. Put the tray back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes longer, or until the chicken is cooked.
• 4. Meanwhile, bring broth to a simmer and keep warm. In a large pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the rice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice and cook stirring constantly until the broth is absorbed. Continue doing this until all of the broth is gone.
• 5. When the chicken is finished, chop the breasts into bite-sized chunks and add them to the finished rice. Add the rest of the ingredients from the baking tray to the rice as well and stir to combine. Serve right away.

RISOTTO WITH BACON AND KALE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large heavy saucepan or braising pan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
• Add the onions, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes. Add 3 cups broth and the lemon juice. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover with a tight lid and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Remove the lid and stir in the chicken, kale, roasted vegetables and 1/4 cup chicken broth. Stir until the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes, adding extra broth, as needed, until the risotto is creamy. Stir in the cooked bacon and cheese. Ladle into bowls and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer and roast 5 minutes. Toss the kale in a large bowl with the garlic, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Add to the baking sheet with the potatoes and toss. Roast until the kale is crisp and the potatoes are tender, stirring once, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium and brush with olive oil. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Coat evenly with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Toss the kale, potatoes, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, the salad greens, tomatoes, Parmesan, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Divide the chicken among plates and top with any collected juices. Serve with the kale salad.

BAKED RISOTTO WITH GREENS AND PEAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Add rice, season with salt and pepper, and stir until coated in oil and lightly toasted, 2 minutes.
• Add kale, season with salt and pepper, and stir until wilted, 30 seconds. Add broth and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cover and bake until almost all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in spinach and peas until spinach is wilted. Add Parmesan, butter and lemon juice, and stir until well blended and saucy. (Liquid will continue to absorb as risotto sits.) Season with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls and top with more Parmesan.

KALE AND CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Lightly season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and pan-fry chicken until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from skillet, allow to cool, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Meanwhile, pierce sweet potato with a fork a few times and microwave until fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Remove and allow to cool; then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat oil in a wok, Dutch oven, or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add kale, season with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sweet potato, mini peppers, onion, zucchini, and garlic. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and peanut sauce. Stir all ingredients together until well combined. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.

CHICKEN AND KALE STEW RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the bouquet garni: Stack the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and sage on top of one another. Tie a 3-inch (7 cm) length of butcher's twine around the center of herbs and secure with a knot. Set aside.
• Season the chicken all over with about 1 teaspoon salt.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pot looks dry. Melt the butter until just bubbling. Add the onion and carrots and season with ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and carrot is beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, if using. Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are well-coated and the flour is lightly toasted, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken stock, bouquet garni, 2-3 teaspoons of salt, and the potatoes. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Return the chicken to the pot, along with the kale. Season the stew with more salt to taste and the black pepper. Cook until the chicken is warmed through and the kale is just wilted and tender, and the chicken is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
• Ladle the stew into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and more red pepper flakes. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
