Instructions
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Heat medium non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Cook, tossing the almonds until golden and fragrant, 1-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Set aside on a plate to cool.
Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot lengthwise into long ribbons. Zest, then juice lemon. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with 1/4 tsp of salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and pepper. When almonds are cool enough to handle, gently crush with finger tips to break into smaller pieces or use the back of a spoon.
Add chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stir together lemon zest and mayo in a small bowl. Brush lemon mayo all over chicken, then sprinkle almonds over the tops. (TIP: Gently press the almonds onto the chicken to adhere.) Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 16-18 min.**
Whisk together 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp apricot jam and 2 tbsp oil (dbl all for 4 ppl) in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Add kale to a large bowl, then massage to soften leaves. Add carrot ribbons and dressing, then toss to coat.
Slice chicken, then divide between plates. Serve kale salad alongside.
