This is the perfect, healthy meal that is loaded with all the protein and vitamins! The best part is, how easy it is to throw together! I started with some chicken breast, chicken stock and some seasonings. After poaching the chicken for 10 minutes or so, I removed the chicken and added some hearty white beans, kale and broccoli to the poaching liquid. Once the kale was wilted and broccoli was tender, I spooned the brothy goodness into a bowl and topped with some sliced chicken. It had so much flavor from being poached in the stock with lemon, garlic and herbs. The red pepper flake I added was the perfect amount of heat to play off the freshness of the greens. This healthy dinner is a staple in our house because it checks all the boxes for me! Easy, Healthy and D to the LISH! Give it a try and tell me what you think!
