Step 1

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Step 2

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Meanwhile, holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut the chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 5

Add chicken to the skillet and pan-fry, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, 6-8 minutes.

Step 6

While the chicken cooks, using a clean cutting board, fold kale leaves in half lengthwise and slice off the stems. Chop or tear leaves into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 7

Trim, seed, and slice bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, remove to a plate and cover with foil. Return skillet to medium-high heat, add more butter, and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 9

Add peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 10

Add tomatoes, broth, and spices to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 11

Meanwhile, cut cream cheese into small pieces.

Step 12

Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Add cream cheese, a few pieces at a time, and stir until melted and combined, 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

Add kale to the skillet in handfuls, waiting for the kale to wilt slightly before adding the next handful.

Step 14

Return chicken to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce. Continue to cook, until heated through, 1-2 minutes.

Step 15

To serve, divide chicken and veggies between plates. Enjoy!
