Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Remove and discard any large stems from kale; tear leaves into bite-size pieces if necessary. Quarter lemon.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Shellfish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

That Romesco sauce is incredible! Probably my fave hello fresh meal ever. I wouldn't mind tearing the kale myself- there are a lot of the thicker stem pieces in there that are tough to eat if you don't pick them out. Additionally, some of the shrimpies still have their lil poop sacks. :( I'd love the option to purchase the romesco sauce!
This was delicious! I ordered shrimp instead chicken. I think romesco sauce and shrimp are a great match.
So good and super quick! Would definitely like to see this again
Had leftovers and this was actually better as a cold salad the next day. More feta would have been excellent.
Needs more kale or other veggies. Too much rice in the ratio in this version.
Feta doesn't make sense. Toasted almonds would have been a better topping. And one more vegetable.
