12 oz. pasta of choice (I like orecchiette pasta for this recipe)
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 large bunch kale, stems removed, chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
½ tsp.salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese + more for topping
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
In the same pot, heat olive oil. Add kale and cook until wilted. Add butter and stir until melted, then return the pasta to the pot and add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir to combine before adding the zest and juice of the lemon. Add parmesan cheese and chicken. Mix to combine, then taste and add more salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately topped with additional cheese.
Enjoy!
