Chicken

Braised Kale

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season and Sear the Chicken

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the whole chicken generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, breast side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Flip the chicken over, drizzle with lemon juice, and add minced garlic. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Braised Kale

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onion

    In a separate pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Kale and Broth

    Add the chopped kale and vegetable broth to the pot. Season with red pepper flakes and salt. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the kale is tender.

Making the Chicken Jus

  1. 5

    Prepare the Stock

    In a large pot, add chicken bones, chopped carrots, celery, quartered onion, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours. Strain the stock and discard solids.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Slice the roasted chicken and serve it over the braised kale. Drizzle with chicken jus and garnish with additional lemon juice if desired.
