Instructions

Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet. Add pancetta and onion; cook and stir for about 5 minutes.

Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale and chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook until kale is slightly wilted, about 3 minutes.

Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan and panko.

Turn on the oven’s broiler, and place skillet in the oven until panko is lightly toasted. Serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pancetta Crisping Technique 🥓
Render the pancetta slowly in a cold pan to maximize crispy texture and release maximum flavor before adding other ingredients.
Kale Massage Method 👐
Massage the chopped kale with a pinch of salt before cooking to break down the tough fibers and enhance tenderness and flavor absorption.
Garlic Timing Trick 🧄
Add minced garlic after pancetta is crisp but before adding kale to prevent burning and ensure a rich, nutty garlic flavor.
Panko Toasting Hack 🍞
Toast panko in a dry skillet before sprinkling to develop a deeper, nuttier flavor and create a more crisp texture.
Liquid Balance Secret 💦
Add chicken broth gradually and watch closely to prevent overcooking the kale while ensuring it's perfectly moistened and not soggy.
