How to make it
1
Wash and dry produce.
Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces. Halve, core, and thinly slice apple.
Place kale in a large bowl; using your hands, massage kale with a large drizzle of olive oil (similar to how you would knead dough) until leaves are tender, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Don’t skip this step—massaging helps the kale leaves wilt slightly, lending a tender (never fibrous!) texture.
2
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. (TIP: Not sure how much chicken to use? Refer to the “Before you start” section at left for guidance.) Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until about ½ inch thick. Season all over with garlic powder, half the thyme (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board.
3
While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together honey Dijon dressing, mustard, and a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
4
Slice chicken crosswise.
Add apple and Parmesan to bowl with kale. Toss with as much dressing as you like.
Divide salad between bowls. Sprinkle with dried cranberries. Top with chicken, drizzle with any remaining dressing, and serve.
