Chicken Kale with Mustard Sauce

I bought shredded chicken from grocery story - this is a roasted chicken that they deboned and it basically falls apart along the way, i.e. shreds. The mustard sauce was made up - inspired by the desire to spice up the chicken in a simple way.  The end result was good, meaty, and tasty.

Saute
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp Herbs de Provence
1/2 tsp pink peppercorns, ground
8 olives, halved

Add and continue
4 oz chicken, cooked and shredded

Mix up and set aside
1 oz white wine
1/3 cup salsa (e.g. Pace Thick 'n' Chunky)
3 Tbsp Brown Spicy Mustard, Guldens
3 Tbsp skim milk

Now, add to the meat saute, cover and wilt
1+ cup kale, ripped to bite sized pieces
All of the mustard sauce from above

Serve with 1-2 tsp of chopped almonds, chopped fine
