Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.

From the Test Kitchen

Escarole, a.k.a. chicory, is a mildly bitter winter lettuce in the same family as radicchio, endive, and frisée. The pale, inner leaves are the least bitter because they receive the least amount of sunlight. Some farmers even shield the plants from light to maintain the lighter color throughout. The sauce we created for the chicken was inspired by the Tuscan white bean soup that made the combination of escarole and cannellini beans so popular.

Add them to the skillet, skin side down. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn them over and cook about 5 minutes longer. You can pour off some of the fat from the pan if there appears to be too much.
