Instructions:
To create this comforting One-Pot Chicken and Vegetables, follow these simple steps for a delicious, nourishing dish:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
Start by cutting the chicken breast in half. Remove any fatty pieces and the central cartilage, then slice the chicken into strips. -
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into irregular chunks.
- Wash the kale thoroughly and cut it into strips.
- Peel and slice the shallot into rings.
- Peel the fresh ginger and cut it into thin strips.
- Wash and slice the sage leaves into small pieces.
- Dice the pre-cooked beets into small chunks.
-
Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat a little olive oil in a large pan or pot. Once hot, add the shallot and ginger, cooking them until softened and fragrant.
- Add the kale to the pan, mixing everything together. Pour in a ladle of vegetable broth and increase the heat to medium.
- Stir in the sage, season with salt, and let everything cook for about 10 minutes, adding more broth if the liquid evaporates too quickly.
-
Add Turmeric and Honey:
- In a small bowl, mix the turmeric powder and honey with a ladle of broth. Pour this mixture into the pan and stir well to combine.
- Add more broth if needed to keep everything moist. Cover the pan with a lid, stir the ingredients, and ensure there’s enough liquid for the farro to cook properly.
-
Cook the Farro:
- Stir in the farro and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally, adding more broth as needed to prevent sticking and to allow the farro to cook through.
-
Final Touches:
- Once the farro is tender and the vegetables are well-cooked, turn off the heat.
- Add the diced beets to the pot, season with black pepper, and give everything a final stir.
