Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups collard greens, chopped
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together miso paste and olive oil to form a marinade. Coat chicken thighs in the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Prepare collard greens by washing and chopping them. In a large pan, sauté onions until translucent. Add collard greens and cook until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, whisk together coconut flour, eggs, almond milk, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to create the injera batter. Pour batter into a preheated non stick skillet or griddle and cook on medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Grill or pan fry marinated chicken thighs until fully cooked and slightly charred. Plate collard greens, injera bread, and chicken together for a visually stunning and delicious keto Ethiopian lunch. Garnish with fresh parsley.
