Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 chicken breast boneless skinless
  • salt to taste, Kosher
  • black pepper to taste, Kosher
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch kale tough stems removed, and chopped
  • 2 celery thinly sliced, sticks
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise or plain yogurt, lite
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp anchovy paste
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Allow the chicken to sit on the counter for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk well all the dressing ingredients. Season the chicken with just a pinch of salt and pepper (remember, the dressing is salty too, so don't overseason it!).
  3. Lightly grease the grill with a bit of olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken breast until charred and no longer pink on the inside. Allow it to sit on a chopping board for 5 minutes, then slice it.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, add the kale and 1/2 of the dressing. Massage the kale for a couple of minutes to tenderize the leaves.
  6. Top with grilled chicken, crunchy celery, shaved parmesan, and the remaining dressing. Toss and serve.

Notes

  • Chicken: if using smaller-sized chicken breasts, then use 4 for 4 servings. If the chicken breast is large, slice them thinner in half to get 2 pieces from each breast.
  • Use Light mayo or any plain yogurt. Greek works too
  • Kale: be sure to remove the kale leaves from the stem. Do massage the kale with half of the dressing as instructed.
  • If you don't like kale, you may use any of your favorite greens 
  • Anchovies: if you aren't too fond of anchovies, you can skip them.
  • Swap the chicken with shrimp or any of your favorite proteins.
  • You may use avocado oil in place of olive oil.
