1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon scotch bonnet pepper sauce (or hot sauce)
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
Clean and slice the whole chicken breast into three pieces horizontally. You should have 6 flat pieces from the two chicken breasts
season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, allspice
Combine walnuts, honey, pepper sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and coconut oil make sure all the nuts are coated
Place walnuts on a lined sheet pan bake in a 350 oven for 10 minutes
remove from the oven while hot stir to make sure all the melted oil and honey re-coat the nuts and allow it to cool completely, as it cools it gets very crunchy
Massage the kale until its wilted down and finely chop set aside
Grill the chicken on a greased grill, they are cut thin so it shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes per side for perfectly cooked juicy chicken breast.
set the chicken aside and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the salad by laying down a bed of massaged kale topped with your favorite low-calorie vinaigrette, walnuts, chicken, and parmesan shavings.
