Easy Thai Stir-Fried Kale with Chicken Breast Recipe

This simple and fast stir-fry recipe is one you can do quickly with a big bag of kale and a couple of chicken breasts. The recipe is totally adaptable, so chances are, you can do it with whatever sauces you have and it will be great. It's a low-carb recipe so, so if your doctor is constantly telling you to decrease your carb intake, this should be on your list.

You can tell that Thai Stir-Fried Kale with vitamin-rich. You can also see all the protein in the chicken breast, and just imagine the full, rich aromas it puts off when you stir fry it. When my Thai wife made it, she goes in full feeding frenzy mode. She calls me names when I try to slow her down for photos and videos and you can tell she is already drooling and on full hangry mode.

Basic Ingredients

She uses the same basic Thai template for stir-frying, using fish sauce, soy sauce, sometimes oyster sauce, and oil. She prefers olive oil, but typically you would use canola oil for Thai food. Do what you want, this is for you, not for anyone else. She uses a wok but, you can do it just as well in a large skillet. Again, use what you have, just do it fast and with your full attention on medium-high heat. Also, always make sure to use fresh ingredients and cook fully.
