Ingredients

12 ounces leftover roast chicken meat, or 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves, about 8 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 lemon
2 1/2 teaspoons tahini
1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped

Directions

1

If using leftover meat, skip to step 2. If using fresh chicken, place chicken in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook at a bare simmer until thickest part of the chicken registers 155°F on an instant read thermometer. Transfer chicken to a medium bowl and allow to rest until cool enough to handle. Discard skin and bones and shred meat into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
2

Whisk together 3 tablespoons of hot chicken cooking liquid (if using leftover chicken use 3 tablespoons boiled water), lemon juice, and tahini with large pinch salt. Reserve in airtight container. Toss together chicken, kale, almonds, and apricots. Store separately from dressing until ready to eat. Toss together with dressing and then serve, or pack into container to eat on the go.
