Try broccoli in place of kale or throw in some bok choy and coconut aminos or soy sauce!
Serving Suggestions
This dish works well as a meal all by itself but you can add some rice to it when you’re wanting something a little more filling. When I am going for something lower carb, I just omit the rice and increase the amounts of chicken and veggies to add more volume to the meal. You can also serve chicken kale stir fry with cauliflower rice to keep things paleo, low carb and Whole30 compliant if that’s your dietary preference.
