Chicken Shakshuka with Kale

Chicken Shakshuka with Kale

Serves 6
Add a little more cooking time if you use bone-in chicken thighs. Or use 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in half lengthwise.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar shakshuka sauce
  • 1 bunch lacinato or curly kale (ribs removed and leaves chopped)
  • 1/4 cup mixed Mediterranean olives (pitted)
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta

Directions

  1. Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, smooth side down, and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown. Flip over chicken and add shakshuka sauce to pan.
  3. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in kale. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes, until a probe thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken registers 165°F.
  4. Serve warm, sprinkled with olives and feta cheese. Accompany with your favorite cooked grain or crusty bread.

Cook Tips

Chicken breasts and bone-in chicken thighs can also be used, but cooking time will be longer.
