Preparation

- Heat remaining three tablespoons of olive oil in skillet and add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes.
- Add kale, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and reserved pasta water. Cook until kale is tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add cooked chicken, and pasta. Stir to coat, and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

I used lemon pepper and garlic salt to season my chicken and added a little extra red pepper flakes for spiciness. Came out great!

I used garlic salt instead of kosher salt and used lemon pepper and garlic salt to season the chicken. Great!

This is one of my favorites! For a healthier spin, I have used zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash instead of pasta!
