Skillet Lemon Chicken and Potatoes with Kale

Here is its quick recipe:

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
• ½ teaspoon salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved lengthwise
• ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 large lemon, sliced and seeds removed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
• 6 cups baby kale

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Cook, turning once until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, potatoes, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of each salt and pepper to the pan. Cook the potatoes, cut-side down, until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, lemon, garlic, and tarragon. Return the chicken to the pan.
4. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender for about 15 minutes. Stir kale into the mixture and roast until it has wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.
