Ground chicken is browned and braised with white beans, wilted kale, and pearl couscous in a savory stock concentrate. A knob of butter and a bright squeeze of lemon finish the dish, while a shower of Parmesan and a pinch of chili flakes add richness and gentle heat. It's a hearty, one-pan meal with rustic Italian-inspired flavors.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Start Braise
1
  • Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.

  • Add beans and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  • Stir in kale, remaining stock concentrates, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted, 1-2 minutes. (For 4, add half the kale and stir until slightly wilted; add remaining kale and cook 3-4 minutes more.)

Finish Braise
2
  • Reduce heat under pan with chicken-kale mixture to low. Add cooked couscous, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until butter has melted.

  • Add another squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
