Spiced Lemon Skillet Chicken with Kale & Beans

One Dish Spiced Lemon Skillet Chicken with Kale and Garbanzo Beans

Seared, chili-spiced chicken roasted with kale, lemon, and beans makes an easy and super flavorful skillet meal.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 TB. + 1 tsp. Basic Spice Rub (made with chili powder)*
  • 4–6 chicken bone-in, skin-on legs and/or thighs
  • 1 TB. olive, coconut, or peanut oil
  • 1/2 lg. onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–1/2 c. cooked garbanzo, cranberry, or white beans (from your freezer, or about 2 cans)
  • 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 1 small lemon, cut in half lengthwise, seeded and sliced thinly
  • 1 lg. bunch kale (or chard), stemmed and chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Add the chicken to a bowl or large baggie, along with a tablespoon of spice rub and mix/shake until chicken is coated with rub.
  3. Heat 1 Tb. oil in a cast iron or oven proof skillet, add the chicken pieces skin side down and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes before turning and cooking another 5 minutes until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add onions and garlic to the skillet and cook for about a minute before adding beans, chicken broth and 1 tsp. more of the spice rub. Cook about a minute more.
  5. Toss in the kale and lemon slices, mixing well, and then nestle the chicken pieces on top. Place the skillet in the oven and roast 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
  6. Serve immediately with a crusty bread to soak up any juices.

Notes

*Or use your favorite spice rub, but make sure it has some chili-powder in it, since this gives the dish it’s spice.

    This has my name all over it. I have a bunch of kale in the fridge with no plan, and since I have everything else, this is immediately being added to our weekend menu. Yum!
