Creamy Kale Chicken

This Tuscan style chicken uses trendy (it seems) kale in place of the usual spinach. Only minutes to prepare then it all goes in the oven to make a delicious meal.

Ingredients:
4 chicken legs, split
2 tbsps butter
2 tbsps flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper 
2 kale leaves, chopped
4 halves sun dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil

Starting with the white sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Whisk 1 minute then add the milk and chicken broth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue whisking over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken. 

Add the kale and sun dried tomatoes.

Spray a 13 X 9" baking dish with cooking oil and pour the sauce in. Lay the chicken pieces on top.

Generously sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano and basil.

Cover with foil and bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.

Then uncover, spray with a little olive oil, and return to the oven for 20-25 minutes longer. Broil 3-4 minutes if you want to golden it up more.

Great served with rice or pasta!
