Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper and the baharat spice blend.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad.
2
Make the tzatziki salad
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then crosswise into enough ¼-inch-thick half-moons to measure 1½ cups [3 cups].
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup].
- Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely tear the leaves. Set aside half for garnish.
- Thinly slice the garlic; set aside for the kale.
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and half the mint. Add the tzatziki base and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Cook the kale
In the same pan used for the chicken, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the kale and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the kale is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the tzatziki salad and kale to individual plates. Top the kale with the chicken, garnish the salad with the remaining mint, and serve.
