Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Kale and Chicken Stir-Fry.
Step 1
Start by seasoning both sides of your chicken breasts with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, ensuring they’re well-coated for maximum flavor.
Step 2
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and place the chicken in the pan.
Step 3
Cook it for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 4
To be sure it’s perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that it reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool for a moment before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
Next, grab a sweet potato and pierce it several times with a fork.
Step 7
Pop it in the microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes until it’s fork-tender, but be careful not to overcook it.
Step 8
After it cools down a bit, chop it into bite-sized pieces as well.
Step 9
Now, let’s bring some vibrant greens into the mix! In a wok, Dutch oven, or heavy skillet, heat up some sesame oil over medium heat.
Step 10
Toss in the chopped kale, seasoning it with a little salt and pepper.
Step 11
Sauté the kale for about 3 to 5 minutes until it wilts down beautifully.
Step 12
Once the kale is ready, it’s time to add a colorful medley of vegetables.
Step 13
Stir in the sweet potato, mini bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and minced garlic.
Step 14
Keep stir-frying for another 3 to 5 minutes until all the veggies are tender and bursting with flavor.
Step 15
Finally, it’s time to bring everything together! Add the cooked chicken and a generous drizzle of peanut sauce to the skillet.
Step 16
Stir everything together until it’s well combined, allowing the flavors to meld for another 3 minutes.
Step 17
This dish is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of colors and tastes that will leave you feeling satisfied and nourished.
Step 18
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
