Garlic Chicken in a Red Wine Sauce
Really simple to prepare and as you can see it is served on a bed of greens. This is a stir fry kale. The flavor of the kale is that of a substantial spinach.
But the ingredients are quite simple and this takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
Here is what you need
1 bunch of kale cleaned thoroughly with stems removed and chopped.
4-5 chicken breast strips about 1 lb
1 tbsp minced garlic
appx 15 Grape tomatoes washed and halved
1/4 Red wine (I used a little leftover of a brand called 14 Hands)
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

In a medium sized skillet add 2 tbsp of oil and bring up heat to medium high. Add the Kale to the skillet and stir until completely wilted and slightly tender. Remove the kale to a plate and to the skillet add the remaining oil. Begin cooking the minced garlic in the hot oil. As garlic turns bubbly white add the chicken strips right on top of the garlic. Cook the chicken for about 4 1/2 minutes per side. Now add the 1/4 cup of red wine and the tomatoes. This will Deglaze the skillet incorporating all that cooked garlic into the chicken with the wine. Cook the chicken for another 7 minutes, turning over about 3 1/2 minutes per side. Place the chicken strips on the bed of kale and pour on the tomatoes and red wine juices from the skillet. Serve!
