- Add kale to a bowl with ½ tsp Blood Orange Olive Oil and ½ tsp Butcher’s Blend. Massage for 1 minute, until softened.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 Tbsp Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3–4 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
