Cumin Chicken with Kale and Bell Pepper

I had this last night (April 29^th) for the first time.  I was in an utter Paleo cooking frenzy.  Insane!  If you see me in the kitchen cooking, please move out of my way.  I am on a mission. I posted a picture of my Facebook and got a number of responses, thus I decided to post the recipe on ThePaleoPlunge.

But I digress….back to the Cumin Chicken.  As you probably know Cumin has a distinct pungent, yet wonderful, odor.  Now imagine the wonderful odor wafting through the air of your kitchen!  The smell of cumin is somewhat comforting to me.  Now add a protein-packed meat, like chicken, to the equation and you, my Paleo friends, have a winner.  What makes this dish even better is that its all done in one pan.  That right, the kale and red peppers are sautéed in the same dish as the chicken!  Easy to make and easy to clean up.  If you are newbie at trying Paleo cooking, this is a good recipe to attempt to cook.  You really need to try to mess this one up.
