Chicken, Kale & Brussel Sprouts Skillet in a white plate

You guys. I threw a bag of salad in a skillet with chicken. And it was delicious. Ok, it was a little more complex than that, but in essence, the bag of salad I bought inspired this recipe. I have found a new favorite salad kit here in the States (my go-to lunch since I am working 10-hour days with the cookbook lately it seems) and I did throw it in the skillet the other night.

It’s Brussels Sprouts, arugula, and kale with a lemon dressing..and I thought well, why not just wilt it all in the frying pan?

And so I did.

This is a deep look into my shallow mind, people. This is how I come up with recipes. There’s no rhyme or reason at all.

I took the hint from the salad dressing and added lemon juice, garlic, and chicken stock for flavoring. It was inhaled by the family. INHALED, I tell you.

It’s light, lemony and so flippin’ refreshing for a chicken dish in the middle of winter.

This is where I boss you around and tell you to make this now. You can sub in what you like – maybe add stanch – and mess around with how lemony you want it. It’s just SO EASY to make.

My version is heaving on the Brussels sprouts, and make sure you shave them thinly…they will still be crunchy when the dish is cooked. Heavenly. I added in another two cups of shaved sprouts…and would add even more next time.

Happy cooking everyone!

Love,

Karlynn

  • Heat the skillet on medium-high heat with the butter and olive oil.
  • Fry the chicken breasts in the oil, approximately 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of each breast until almost entirely cooked through.
  • Add in the greens and fresh garlic, sautee until slightly limp and browned, approxmiately 3-4 minutes.

  • Cook another couple of minutes, making sure to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Serve each piece of chicken with a scoop full of greens.

    Looks awesome. Made your cream cheese cc cookies today. That basic cc recipe is a family fav here. I don’t really like choc (I know right! What?))) but the teenage boys can’t get enough of it. Love your website. Now do you have a killer wasabi dressing? I need a warm up here North of 49!

  2. Neil M Jackson says

    I hate trends. I once had a mentor who imparted one piece of wisdom that has stuck with me. ‘ Don’t follow standards. Set them.’…and a good number of your dishes do that.

  3. The Kitchen Magpie says

    Aw thanks! I’m late on the kale thing. I’m always late, so now everyone hates it and I’m like but it’s YUMMY! That’s what I get for not being on trend šŸ˜‰

  4. Neil M Jackson says

    Karlynn, it is a good looking dish. The transformation from pan to plate is fantastic. I will give this.a try. Thanks for sharing. (Kale is still evill and wrong šŸ™‚ )

  5. Neil M Jackson says

    I was good with the bagged salad…it has to be done sometimes. Then you mentioned kale…over used…over mentioned and over here. Now go and stand in the corner for at least thirty mins and write ‘Kale is evil and wrong’ 100 times. Chicken looks good. šŸ™‚
