Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook your protein
- Pat your protein dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein.
Pork chops: Cook the pork chops, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to individual plates. Do not clean the pan.
Pork blade steaks: Cook the pork steaks, turning once and pressing occasionally with a spatula to ensure the meat cooks evenly, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to individual plates. Do not clean the pan.
Chicken: Cook the chicken, 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 individual plates. Do not clean the pan.
2
Cook the kale
In the same pan used for your protein, warm 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the kale, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until starting to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the plates with your protein.
3
Heat the sauce
Serve
Spoon the blueberry-apricot sauce over your protein and serve.
