Ingredients

  • Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon
  • Black pepper
  • Salad:
  • 1 bunch kale, ribs removed and sliced 1/4-inch wide
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 thin chicken breast cutlets
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • Shaved Parmesan

Directions

  1. For the dressing: In a blender, blend together the Parmesan, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and pepper to taste until smooth. Pour the dressing over the kale in a large bowl and toss well.

  2. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes. Cool the eggs under cold water. Peel and cut into quarters.

  3. Season the chicken with lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, the garlic, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Heat a grill over high heat and coat with cooking spray. Grill the chicken until cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into bite-size pieces.

  5. Divide the kale among 4 bowls. Top each with 2 1/2 oz. grilled chicken, 2 wedges of egg, and 1/4 cup tomatoes. Divide the remaining 1 tsp oil among the bowls and season each with a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with shaved Parmesan and serve.
