step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then roughly chop the leaves. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Roughly chop the capers. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester, finely grate into a paste (or use the small side of a box grater). Peel the carrots; grate on the large side of a box grater. Roughly chop the peppers. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise.

2 Marinate the kale:

In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, the juice of two lemon wedges, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.

3 Cook the chicken:

While the kale marinates, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

4 Make the dressing:

While the chicken cooks, in a bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped capers, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, half the oregano (you will have extra), the juice of the remaining lemon wedges, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

5 Finish the salad & serve your dish:

To the bowl of marinated kale, add the grated carrots, chopped peppers, sliced radishes, and dressing. Stir to thoroughly combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the salad topped with the cooked chicken. Enjoy!
