Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Remove and discard any large stems from kale; tear leaves into bite-size pieces if necessary. Quarter lemon.

Start Chicken & Kale
2

• Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan (for 4 servings, use a large, high-sided pan or large pot) over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. • Add kale, stock concentrate, garlic powder, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until kale begins to wilt, 1-3 minutes.

Finish Chicken & Kale
3

• Meanwhile, gently massage grain blend in package to separate grains; open package. • Once kale begins to wilt, add grain blend and a pinch of sugar (big pinch for 4 servings) to pan; cook, stirring, until grain blend is warmed through and chicken is cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Squeeze juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4) into pan. Stir to combine. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Serve
4

• Divide chicken, kale, and grains between shallow bowls. Snip corner of romesco sauce package and drizzle over top. Sprinkle with feta. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
