Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs (1kg)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 leek, washed and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 can 19oz (540ml) white kidney beans, drained
  • 1 large bunch of kale, de-stemmed, washed and chopped finely

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  3. Working in batches, place the chicken in the hot skillet, spreading the thighs evenly in the pan. Cook the chicken until it is nicely golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
  5. Add the leeks and garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the white wine, chicken stock, mustard, thyme and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the beans and the kale and using tongs, toss until wilted, 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the chicken thighs back to the skillet, cover and cook 15 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
