INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp. olive oil
1½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into ½-inch strips
Kosher salt, for seasoning and to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning and to taste
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 large bunch kale (about 2 oz.) chopped
½ cup dry white wine
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour oil over medium heat in a skillet until shimmering. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for about 6 minutes, turning once. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
2. Add the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the onions slightly soften. Add the kale, wine and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the kale is tender.
3. Return the chicken and all its juices to the skillet. Add the Parmesan and lemon juice; stir to mix well. Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately.
