Note

Ensure the kale is well-drained after blanching to prevent the mash from becoming watery.

For a richer flavor, use full-fat crème fraîche instead of half-fat.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for an additional 2-3 minutes before serving.

This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove.

Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version, though the tag indicates Vegan which may require checking all ingredients for animal products.
