Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Toss the kale with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the Parmesan, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F until crisp around the edges. Set aside.
2
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
3
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
4
In the same skillet, reduce to medium heat and add the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and their moisture has evaporated. Stir in the rosemary and half of the garlic, and cook 30 seconds more.
5
Add the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and the remaining garlic. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat.
6
Add the brie and stir gently until melted into a creamy sauce. A few small pieces of cheese are fine.
7
Return the chicken to the skillet along with any collected juices. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes at 200 °C / 400 °F, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper if needed. Finish with the lemon zest on top.
9
Serve the chicken with the mushrooms and plenty of brie sauce. Top each portion with crispy kale just before serving.

Chef tips

For a smoother sauce, let the brie sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before using. Do not overcrowd the kale tray so it crisps instead of steaming.

Substitutions

You can swap cremini mushrooms for white mushrooms or portobello. If you do not have fresh rosemary, use 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary. The Parmesan can be omitted for a milder finish, though the recipe will still contain dairy from the brie, cream, and butter.
