Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 red onion, diced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts (I used pre-shredded, but you could thinly slice them into strips as well)
2 cups kale, chopped
Zest and juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon capers
Lemon slices, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice each chicken breast into two cutlets. Season the chicken cutlets with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and paprika in a large bowl. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and toss to combine.
  • Add the chicken cutlets to the saucepan and cook on medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts and kale to the saucepan. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Top with lemon zest.
  • Sprinkle capers all over to taste. Serve with lemon slices.

It's all about Himalayan Pink Salt - Health, Therapeutic, and Cooking Himalayan pink salt's natural minerals make it the preferred choice of chefs, spas and health professionals who promote the holistic lifestyle. Adding Himalayan salt to your regular diet can provide essential minerals and support proper absorption of nutrients. It can also normalize blood pressure; eliminate toxins and help balance the body's electrolytes and pH levels. Himalayan pink salt can be used to create a brine bath, which can help strengthen the immune system, detoxify your body and heal skin diseases. Soaking in brine baths after surgery can also assist in quicker healing and recovery. Facial steams help minimize asthma and bronchitis symptoms, as well as ear infections and some respiratory tract infections. Soak a cloth in a brine solution of the Himalayan pink salt and use for open wounds or for joint conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis or gout. Due to its higher mineral content, Himalayan pink salt can be used to replace regular table or sea salt to support a healthy lifestyle. Use it in the kitchen anywhere regular table salt is called for. Multiple grind choices are available, including fine, medium and rock. Finely ground can be used in regular salt shakers, while the larger pieces can be ground in a mill. It provides a richer flavor than table or sea salt and does not contain additional chemicals or additives. Himalayan salt is easier for the body to digest, and its high mineral content provides more nutrients, encouraging better health.
