Kind: captions Language: en today I'm going to be making a delicious recipe from my new book Eat to beat your diet it's spiced chicken rice and kale first we're going to soak the rice with a little bit of water on top and while you prepare the other ingredients first really mince up two cloves of garlic next we're gonna chop up a shallot quercetin is mostly on the Outer Rim so you don't want to be cutting away too much of the skin cut up the kale I usually like to take away the spine and get the leaves heat up some olive oil garlic and shallots about two minutes or so and you want the shells turn translucent that's a spoon of cayenne pepper so these are chicken thighs I trimmed them of their fat I'm thinking that cast iron skillet put in vegetable sauce you'll get that in a nice boil I'm going to put in cinnamon sticks just turn it down to a simmer and you just simmer that for about 20 minutes the drain rice sprinkle it all around the pot now we're going to actually add coconut milk some people think about coconut fat as being unhealthy but actually it's a reasonable type of fat just don't have it too often and add the chickpeas and then I'm going to put in the calabrian chilies and just go ahead and distribute that once we get this boiling turn it down and you're cooking the rice here and the rice is now absorbing all these wonderful flavors I'm going to take the chopped up kale and just put it right on top then I'm going to take a half a lime I'm just going to squeeze the juice of half a lime and then we just cover it for 20 minutes top off and there it is ready to eat my metabolism feels stronger already
