Kale mushroom recipe Ingredients
Chicken with Kale and Wild Mushrooms
Ingredients
1. 1 pound kale, tough stems discarded, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces
2. 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3. 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
4. 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
5. 3 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1-by- 1/4 -inch matchsticks
6. Four 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, lightly
pounded
7. Salt and freshly ground pepper
8. 1/2 pound wild mushrooms, such as oyster or chanterelle, sliced
1/3 inch thick
9. 3 medium shallots, minced
10. 1/3 cup dry white wine
11. 2/3 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
12. 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1. Blanch the kale in a large pot of salted water until limp, about
2 minutes. Drain well, pressing to extract excess water. In a small
bowl, blend the flour and butter until smooth.
2. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonreactive skillet. Add
the bacon and sauté over high heat until browned and crisp, about
4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels
to drain. Pour the rendered fat into a small bowl.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the reserved bacon
fat in the skillet. Separate the tenders from the chicken breasts.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the breasts to the skillet
and cook over moderately high heat until brown and crusty on the bottom,
about 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned,
about 3 minutes. Brown the chicken tenders in another teaspoon of
oil. Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover loosely with foil.
4. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat in the
skillet. Add the mushrooms, shallots and 2 tablespoons of water, season
with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally,
until the vegetables are softened and browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer
to a bowl and keep warm.
5. Pour the wine into the skillet and cook over high heat, scraping
the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits, until reduced to
a few tablespoons. Add the chicken stock and cook until reduced to
1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour paste and cook until
the sauce thickens. Add the mushrooms and cook until warmed through.
Transfer to a small bowl and stir in any accumulated juices from the
chicken.
6. Wipe out the skillet and return it to high heat. Add the remaining
1 teaspoon oil and 1 more teaspoon of the bacon fat. Add the kale,
season with salt and pepper and sauté until just beginning to brown,
about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon and the lemon juice. Arrange
the kale on 4 dinner plates. Top with the chicken breasts and mushroom
sauce and serve.
7.
Serve With
Baked or mashed potatoes.
