Ingredients List

• Main Dish:
• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
• 2 cups kale, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• Salt and pepper to taste

• Sides (Optional):
• 2 cups cooked rice (for serving)

The Basics

This delightful dish involves searing chicken until golden, creating a luscious coconut sauce, and tossing in that vibrant kale until it’s perfectly wilted. Serve it over a mound of rice, and you’ve got a meal fit for a cozy night in or a dinner party – without the stress!

Detailed Instructions with Timing Notes

1. Step 1: Prepare Chicken (Time: 0:00 – 0:10)

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

2. Step 2: Make the Sauce (Time: 0:10 – 0:20)

   Remove the chicken from the pan, and in the same skillet, add garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through.

3. Step 3: Add the Kale (Time: 0:20 – 0:25)

   Uncover the skillet and add the kale to the sauce, stirring until it wilts down, about 2-3 minutes. Serve over rice, drizzle with extra coconut sauce, and enjoy!
