Pollo Verde
Yeah that's right. I'm calling this Pollo Verde and there isn't a mexican/spanish ingredient on the plate. Why cause I can... and 'Green Chicken' is a whole different dish... where the chicken in actually green. Go figure. This is one of my first attempts to be healthy and delicious. So featuring a sauteed chicken breast sitting on a scallion sauce (green), kale (really green), and green beans (really?). So how do we make it. Quite simple actually.... no really...
-Boneless Chicken Breast
-Fresh Green Beans
-Kale
-Scallions
-Garlic
-Lemon Pepper
-Half 'n Half
-Corn oil
-Dash of flour
-Kale
-Scallions
-Garlic
-Lemon Pepper
-Half 'n Half
-Corn oil
-Dash of flour
Creation
So with all this green... and some chicken... where do you start? Well from looking at the picture you would assume a quick sear and then finished in the oven, but at the time I didn't have an oven safe pan so it was done entirely on the stove on medium low heat. I make do. I began with only two pots that weren't even mine.
So, chicken... salt and pepper and sauteed low and slow. Not something you hear very often. Next the green beans. Boiled in salty water very quickly so they are still bright green and have a bite. Set them aside. Not done yet though! However the pot can and should be emptied. Then refilled with a little oil.
In a small sauce pan heat some corn oil while mincing the scallions and toss them in (Mince because we need the juice to make the sauce green). This time a dash of flour is added to pull the sauce together a little more than usual.
Now for the Kale. Such healthy green. So in the pot with the oil. Toss in some kale and cook for a minute or two. Just to wilt a tad a soak up a little salt. Done. Turn heat up and replace them with green beans. Add a little garlic and lemon pepper. Done.
Hopefully the chicken is done at this point. I know I was a little apprehensive. So to plate... a little sauce topped with the chicken and then toss on the veggies. Done.
Grab camera and begin to eat.
Yes I just said grab camera and begin to eat... do you not take pictures of your food? You should start... especially when you make..
