Spicy Peach Chicken Over Baked Kale
When I was a kid, my mom always told me to eat my vegetables and I’d usually dump them in the trash or feed them to my cat. I think if the vegetables that were served as a kid were dressed up and had more flavor, I would have been more open to eating them. I still have to dress up my vegetables in order to eat them.
A couple nights ago, I made chicken over kale. I’ve been creating a love for kale lately. I went a little overboard on the greens, but my mom would have been proud.
I massaged the kale in garlic olive oil and let it sit for an hour. I seasoned the kale with garlic and herb and baked it in the oven at 350 degrees until the kale was crisp.
In a small mixing bowl, I combined 2 tbsps of peach jelly, 1 tbsp hot sauce, 1/2 tbsp of brown sugar, and 1 tsp garlic and herb seasoning together. I topped a 5 oz chicken breast with the mixture and baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes.
I had some leftover lettuce and peas that I needed to get rid of, so I mixed them with a vinaigrette for a side.
Since I was on a green kick, I added steamed broccoli with parmesan and mozzarella to the meal.
What is your favorite vegetable and how do you flavor it?!
So roasted chicken over kale chips more or less? 🙂
I love baked kale! Perfect summer snack!
This looks really good! I’m always looking for new ways to eat kale besides hiding it in smoothies!
That chicken sounds delicious! My favorite vegetables are snow peas and green beans. I like them raw the best, but I like to saute the snow peas with garlic, and I steam my green beans, putting a garlic clove into the water, and then drizzling lemon juice on top when its done. 🙂
I don’t know that it’s my favourite, but the most versatile for me is zuchini/courgette.
I grate it to mix with mince for burritos (either use tortillas, or wrap with spinach or another kind of green for low-carb/GF) – both to get an extra serve of veggies in my diet and to extend the meat mixture, I mix it with coconut flour and pecorino and egg to make a kind of muffin/bread, i grill it with capsicum/peppers and serve it with protein, a slice it thinly and use it in place of spaghetti, i cut it into strips and use it in place of pasta for lasagne….
So many uses!
