Google's Braised Chicken and Kale


I found this recipe in this month's Bon Appetit.  It is from Google's home office cafeteria - apparently that company makes a big effort to ensure healthy eating!  I made it last night using a whole cut-up chicken - it was super easy and very tasty.  I will definitely make it again soon!

Google's Braised Chicken and Kale

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken legs, drumsticks and thighs separated
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 large bunch kale, center ribs and stems removed, leaves cut into 1-inch strips
  • Lemon wedges

Preparation

  • Sprinkle chicken with paprika; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken skin side down and cook, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 8-10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion and garlic to pot and cook, stirring often, until softened, 8-10 minutes. Return chicken to pot; add broth, wine, and herbs. Bring to a boil; cover. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is cooked through, 30-40 minutes.
  • Add kale to pot. Cover; cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Discard herbs. Serve chicken and kale with lemon wedges.
