(Photo by Tina Rupp). I am bending the rules a little here because I don't eat chicken. But if you substitute chicken breasts for tofu it will work just fine.This recipe was inspired by my visit to Jamaica a few years ago. The mustard gives a nice, spicy bite--a good alternative to traditional jerk seasoning. It was one of my 20 minute recipes that was included in a feature on Bon Apppetit reader recipes!
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra firm tofu
- 1/2 cup whole grain dijon mustard

- 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced

- 1 small sweet potato, sliced in 1 cm thick half moons
- 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions
- Step 1
Cut tofu into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange on kitchen towel and weigh down with cutting board; drain 10 minutes. Spread both sides of each slice with mustard.
- Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and ginger; sauté 1 minute. Add kale, sweet potato, and lime juice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until potato is tender and kale is wilted, about 12 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu; cover and cook until heated through and crisp, about 2 minutes per side (some mustard seeds may fall off tofu- you may find it easier to turn with a fork).
- Step 4
Arrange kale and sweet potato mixture on plate. Overlap tofu slices atop vegetables and serve.
