Method

  1. 1

    Season the chicken breast and pan-fry in the vegetable oil over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest and slice.

  2. 2

    Blanch the kale in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then drain well, squeezing out excess water, and chop finely.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a small pan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk to make a smooth sauce.

  4. 4

    Stir the kale into the sauce with a pinch of nutmeg and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve the sliced chicken with the creamed kale.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 900 ml milk and 130 g chicken breast. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
