Who is feeling a little plumper after quarantining? We are! Let's try an easy and delicious Sunbasket recipe that is also low-cal. This Chicken and hummus flatbread “taco” with Greek kale salad recipe clocks in at 570 calories per serving. Here's what you need to serve two:

2 to 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 10 oz total)*
3 oz organic kale (washed and shredded)
Sun Basket Mediterranean vinaigrette (red wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, dried oregano, Dijon mustard)
1 oz sun-dried tomato strips (not oil packed)
3 TBS feta (crumbled)
4 round whole grain flatbreads
Hummus

*You can also go for a boneless, skinless chicken breast, but we went with the richer dark meat.

Step 1: Make sure you've got all your ingredients...

And that you've got your party dress on. Who doesn't cook in a party dress?


Step 2: Prep and cook the chicken.

Pat the chicken dry and add generous amounts of salt and pepper. Warm 2-3 teaspoons of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken. Turn it occasionally, until lightly browned. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes per side for the thighs. Make sure you've cooked it all the way through. Cool it slightly on a cutting board and then cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices.


Step 3: Make the kale salad.

Step 4: Add the sun-dried tomatoes and feta.

Don't serve this to guests, but we were keeping it in the family, so we ate this piece of flat bread that sat on our chef's head.


Step 5: Toast the flatbread.

Do so on medium in a dry frying pan for about 30 seconds per side and spread with the hummus.


Step 6: Top with the chicken and kale salad.
