Step 2

Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Shred the chicken, discarding bones.
Step 3

Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir in kale. Cover and cook on High until the kale is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4

Stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper; discard the Parmesan rind. Serve the stew drizzled with oil and sprinkled with Parmesan and parsley.

Tips

Tip: To save time, you can substitute 4 (15 ounce) cans no-salt-added cannellini beans (rinsed) for the soaked dried beans.

Equipment: 6-qt. slow cooker

Easy to make but bland. I like natural flavors and don’t like to over spice my food, but this needed help. It needed more rosemary, more salt, and lacked a bit more of a punch. I had a feeling it would need more than what it called for, so I added two cloves of chopped garlic - which didn’t do much. I also used a hand blender to purée some of the stew as we like when it has that texture. We ended up drizzling some truffle oil on it - which we liked. Look, it’s ok and it’s easy, but it’s not “wow! I have to make that again”. Read More

What do they mean by soaked beans? Are you supposed to soak them overnight or just rinse them? Seems overkill to soak them overnight and then slow cook for 7 hours. Also would be more than 15 minutes prep. Read More

This was horribly bland. I had to add a lot of salt and ultimately season it with these and oregano. The rosemary cabt carry this dish by itself. I won't make again. it was not comforting or savory. at all. Read More

Made this the other night and have been enjoying the leftovers. Used boneless skinless chicken but otherwise followed the recipe. Husband and I both agreed this would be added to the winter meal rotation as it s super easy for either of us to make. Read More

I haven't made this dish but it sounds like it would be delicious! Question - Are the chicken breasts skin-on? The recipe didn't specify and this is a healthy eating site so........? Read More
