By: Kelsey
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup mayonnaise, compliant brand or homemade!
  • ½ cup avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 10 oz bags of chopped kale
  • 2 chicken breasts

Instructions 

  • Pick leaves away from the stem of the kale leaves.
  • With an immersion blender, blend together all dressing ingredients: Mayonnaise, Avocado Oil, garlic powder, lemon juice, coconut aminos, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, anchovy, pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour roughly 6 tablespoons of the dressing over the kale in a large bowl and massage dressing into the kale leaves until evenly distributed and softened slightly. Set aside.
  • Slice each raw chicken breast in half & sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook chicken on stove top over medium high heat, 3 minutes on each side. Until internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees.
  • Warm/wilt Kale in a separate pan on the stovetop for roughly 1 minute and 30 seconds. (Until the kale has wilted by about half the size).
  • Place kale in bowls and slice each chicken breast into strips.  Place chicken on top of kale and drizzle with additional dressing to top to taste.

Notes

  • There may be leftover dressing, store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
