Instructions
Chicken
- Preheat the oven to 400F

- Squeeze Β½ of the lemon over the outside of the chicken
- Rub the chicken with garlic, salt and pepper.
- Place the tarragon, onion, and the other half of the lemon inside the chicken cavity.
- Place in an oven-proof dish and bake for Β±1-1Β½ hours till the juices run clear. This will depend on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
- In the end, you can grill it to get a nice brown-baked color.
Spinach and Kale
- Toss the pine nuts into a dry non-stick pan and warm over medium heat until the oils begin to release from the nuts, about 5-8 minutes, shaking the pan frequently so they donβt burn.
- Set aside to cool.
- Saute the kale in a large pan in a bit of water for Β±5 minutes till wilted.
- Add the spinach and saute another Β±5 minutes, adding a few tablespoons of water if necessary.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Once greens are wilted, remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan and lemon juice.
- Serve, garnishing with a bit more Parmesan and the toasted pine nuts.
