Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the zucchini
- Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, arrange the zucchini in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Do not clean the pan.
While the zucchini is cooking, prepare the garlic and season the chicken.

Prep and cook the chicken
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
- Diced chicken: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Chicken breasts: Pat dry with a paper towel; cut into 1-inch strips.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and half the garlic-herb blend; save the remaining blend for another use.
In the same pan used for the zucchini, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, then remove from the heat.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad.

In a medium bowl, combine the kale, zucchini, onion, and Mediterranean lemon dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
