This is a quick and tasty side dish or snack. It’s also delicious the next day, just take it out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. You could probably try using Chard or any other hearty leafy green. I found this recipe in Marie Simmons’ Fresh & Fast Vegetarian cookbook (highly recommended).
Ingredients 1 small bunch (about 10 oz.) kale, washed and dried 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons tamari, soy sauce, or liquid aminos 2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon (or more to taste) grated fresh

From Cuisine at Home – This recipe is designed to serve two, but it can easily be doubled to serve company.
Note: Some boneless, skinless chicken may already be cut into cutlets. If I double recipe, I double everything but the beans and, of course, always completely disregard the measly 1 cup of Kale and put in at least a bunch. Val D., Fresh Earth Farm member
Prep Time: 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, halved horizontally (6 oz.) into cutlets 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour kosher salt black pepper 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided 3/4 cup diced onion 2 tablespoons all-purpose

 One way to make a larger quantity of pesto is by including other greens, which also ups the nutritional value. This recipe includes Kale, but you could try broccoli or another leafy green such as spinach. If you don’t have walnuts or pine nuts, unsalted roasted peanuts are a budget friendly alternative. Tip: you can make the pesto and put in the freezer in ice cube trays. Once the pesto is frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer bag and keep in the freezer for use.
1/2 bunch fresh kale

This is based on a Bobby Flay recipe. Cranberry beans work well, but if you have difficulty finding them, try a different dried bean. Kale is a wonderful addition to soup.

Kale is a wonderful, versatile, nutritious green. The almonds add a nice texture and crunch.
