- In a large roasting pan, combine kale, garlic, peppers, lemon slices, red onion, and baby tomatoes.
- Add olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black peppercorns to taste. Mix Well.
- Season chicken on all sides with olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black peppercorns and granulated garlic.

- Bake at 375°F for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is firm and internal temperature is at least 165°F.* *USDA recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F
- If skin is not crispy, brush with olive oil and broil until crispy.
- Squeeze lemon over top and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Serve chicken over kale mixture, spooning pan juices over top.
