Ingredients

  

• 300 gm chicken thighs or breast
• 1/4 cup pistachio nuts
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• sea salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cup kale
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 Tbs olive oil

Instructions

 

• Chop chicken in 2-4cm cubes.

  Combine pistachio nuts with the thyme, salt and pepper. 

  Thread chicken onto the skewers and brush with olive oil. 

  Roll the chicken in the pistachio mixture.

  Heat a frying pan with olive oil and cook the chicken skewers until cooked through. Once done, remove from pan and set aside.

  Drizzle them with olive oil and give the leaves a quick massage with your hands to tenderize the leaves.
