Sear the chicken

While the lentils and kale are cooking, heat the olive oil in a casserole dish or deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken all over and add to the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 6-8 mins until well browned and golden, then flip and cook for 2-3 mins until just golden, they don’t need to be cooked through at this point. Remove the chicken to a plate.
