Recipe View 1 mins Transfer the sweet and savory kale to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted slivered almonds before serving. Enjoy! (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pot along with the kale.
To toast the slivered almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Watch them carefully, as they can burn quickly.
If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
Braised kale can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
