- Step 1) Whisk together oil, orange juice, rosemary and garlic in a mixing bowl. Pour 1/4 cup of the marinade into a small bowl and set aside. Add olives to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Step 2) Cut chicken thighs into quarters, season with salt and pepper to taste then combine with olive vinaigrette. Turn to coat and allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Step 3) Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and olive mixture spreading into an even layer. Cook chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until chicken is completely cooked, well browned and sauce is reduced and thickened. Remove from heat, transfer chicken and sauce to a serving plate and set aside.
- Step 4) Return skillet to medium heat; add reserved 1/4 cup vinaigrette, onions, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or just until onions begin to soften. Add kale and cook 1 to 2 minutes more or just until kale begins to turn bright green and soften. Serve immediately with chicken.
