- 4 tbsp almond flour (or regular flour)
- 3 tbsp butter (unsalted; divided)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh)

- 1 cup kale (stems removed and chopped)
- lemon (wedges, for garnish (optional))
Instruction
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and dust with a light coating of flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a large non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining butter, lemon juice, chicken broth, capers, , garlic, Italian seasoning, and paprika (if using) to the skillet. Return skillet to medium heat and bring to a boil while scraping down the brown bits. Add chickpeas and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken.
- Add kale and then the chicken back to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the kale has wilted and the chicken is heated through.
- Adjust seasonings as needed and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Alternatively you can pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
