1 Butternut Squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 bunch curly kale, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2″ pieces
sea salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
½ cup chicken broth
¼ teaspoon liquid stevia
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the butternut squash pieces and blanch for 3 minutes, until almost cooked through.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped kale. Let stand, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Drain the pot and set the veggies aside.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Return the emptied pot to medium-high heat and sauté the chicken with the olive oil, until browned on all sides.
Add the onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Mix in the butternut squash and kale mixture and sage. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
In a small bowl combine the broth, stevia and Dijon. Pour over the hash and simmer until the liquid is reduced. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
