The family really liked this dish a hit. But what would you recommend to replace the kale, which I cannot get all year round. Small side note I cannot rate this recipe, in fact all others.

Hi Michelle, you could change either of these ingredients to something else you prefer and can easily source. Depending on the ingredient you choose, the cooking times may vary, just be sure to check it as it cooks. Enjoy!

What can I replace the green olives and green leaves with? We dont get them easy here in Malaysia.

Yum! Full of flavour easy to cook in one pan, full of nutrition. Would love to see more one pan dinners

A success with my family. My chicken breasts at 200g each took an extra 15 minutes. I substituted Savoy cabbage for the Cavolo Nero. The leaves benefit from being in the wonderful juices below, so do try to stir in.
