Preparation
Roast the fries
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Cut the potatoes into fries.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Cook & shred the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a bowl and reserve the pan. Using two forks, shred the chicken.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, remove the kale leaves from the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, ½ the maple butter, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Add the kale and massage, 1 to 2 min., until softened.
Make the gravy
- In the reserved pan, heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium
- Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 min., until a paste forms.
- Add the remaining maple butter, the demi-glace, peas, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 4 min., until slightly thickened.
- Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
- If the gravy is too thick, gradually add 1 tbsp water at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumping.
Plate your dish
- Divide the fries and salad between your plates.
- Top the fries with the chicken and spoon the gravy over. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
