Moroccan Chicken and Kale

Wow, Jeanne put together a fantastic dinner tonight.  I wanted to share it, because, as she'll tell you, it doesn't happen too often (that's her putting a meal together, she actually a very good cook if she tried.  It's the trying she doesn't have down). She pieced this together from a number of different influences and came up with what I thought was dynamite!  Enjoy

1 whole chicken, roasted and meat roughly diced
1/2 cup chick stock or broth
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 bunch kale, large stems removed, roughly chopped
1 onion, diced
1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup coconut milk
Pinch saffron (she said optional, we have it on hand and she included)
2-3 Tbsp Ras el Hanout spice mixture- 2 tsp. cumin, 2 tsp. ground ginger, 2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. ground black pepper, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. cayenne, 1 tsp. ground allspice, and 1/2 tsp. ground clove

In a large sauté pan heat olive oil.  Sauté onions until translucent, add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Add garlic, cook for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken, Ras el Hanout spice mix, saffron (if using), stock, and coconut milk.  Simmer for 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.  Add kale, cover and cook 5 more minutes until done.  Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, serve and Enjoy!
