- Eggs
- Soy

How does spiced and seared chicken, tender greens, tangy-sweet dressing, and homemade garlic bread sound? Now, what if we told you that could all be on your table in just 15 minutes—no prepping or chopping required? For this satisfying and flavorful dinner, we season the chicken cutlets with a smoky cinnamon paprika spice blend, then sear until browned, thinly slice, and serve over the greens for savory contrast to the dressing. The garlic bread on the side couldn’t be simpler to make, and adds a buttery richness to the dish that just can’t be beat.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. (TIP: If you have a toaster oven, feel free to skip preheating—you’ll use it to toast the bread in step 3.) Wash and dry produce. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with Cinnamon Paprika Spice, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: If seasoning begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
• While chicken cooks, add Eat Smart® Sweet Kale Chopped Salad Kit with included toppings to a large bowl. Toss with as much included dressing as you like.
• Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 10-15 seconds. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Stir as much as you like into bowl with softened butter. Season with salt and pepper. • Halve baguette; place directly on oven rack (or in a toaster oven) and toast until golden, 3-5 minutes. Spread cut sides with garlic butter, then halve each piece on a diagonal.
• Divide salad between plates or shallow bowls. Thinly slice chicken crosswise and arrange on top. Serve with garlic bread on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Loved the smoky cinnamon paprika seasoning for the chicken, perfectly complimenting the yummy kale salad. From now on, it's the only way I will make garlic bread.
We liked how easy and quick this one was. The sweet salad paired well with the chicken spices. The garlic toast was really good!
Nice flavor in chicken; really liked the combination of spices. Nice with the kale salad. Easy garlic bread, also nice addition. Yum. More salads, please!
Delicious coating on the chicken. Easy and quick. The instructions left the garlic raw on the bread, and we felt that would be a little too much, so we put the garlic bread in the pan afterward to sear it a little. Might suggest toasting it along with the bread or something to give it a little sweetness and take the rawness out of it.
Loved the easy quick meal when I came home late. I ordered this meal just for that purpose! The kale salad got better with an overnight resting in the dressing sealed in the fridge. Actually had as a leftover the day after and was even better. Cranberry and pepitas changed it from boring to tasty and different than a salad I'd make on my own. Chicken seasoning perfectly complimented the salad.
I loved all the meals but was totally surprised by how good this kale salad was. The seasoning used for the chicken was unbelievable and I was almost sad when the meal was gone because it was so good. I am sold on Hello Fresh!
Wonderful coating for the chicken! Smoky sweet and delicious! Very unique dish with a generous portion of salad that was such a nice complement to the meat. Delicious and healthy.
Obviously very easy due to prepackaged. But absolutely delicious flavor! The cinnamon in the spice for the chicken really complimented the sweetness of the salad. Would absolutely get again!
Flavors were great and super easy. My only complaint is there wasn't much kale, maybe a 1/8 cup if that. I didn't make this til Friday and the bag of salad stayed fresh.
Very good. Filling. The fresh garlic on the bread makes a big difference taste wise.
