Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 2 Airline Chicken Breasts
  • 10 Ounces Purple Potatoes
  • 1 Bunch Lacinato Kale
  • 1 Granny Smith Apple
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Bunch Tarragon
  • 3 Tablespoons Chicken Demi-Glace
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Sliced Almonds
  • 2 Teaspoons Whole Grain Dijon Mustard

Directions

  1. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Large dice the potatoes. Separate the kale stems and leaves; discard the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Peel, core and medium dice the apple. Peel and medium dice the onion. Pick the tarragon leaves off the stems; discard the stems.

  2. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned.

  3. Add the onion to the pan of browned potatoes; reduce the heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion has softened slightly. Add the kale, apple and 2 tablespoons of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the kale has wilted. Stir in the almonds, mustard and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until well combined. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. While the hash cooks, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a separate medium pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken, skin side down first. Cook, loosely covering the pan with aluminum foil, 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan. Set aside in a warm place.

  5. Heat the pan of reserved fond on medium until hot. Add the chicken demi-glace, butter and ΒΌ cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally to scrape up any browned bits, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Divide the hash and cooked chicken between 2 plates. Top each with a few spoonfuls of the pan sauce. Garnish with the tarragon. Enjoy!
