Preparation time:15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried cannellini beans, soaked and drained
- 6 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 (4 ounce) Parmesan cheese rind plus ⅔ cup grated Parmesan, divided
- 2 bone-in chicken breasts (1 pound each)
- 4 cups chopped kale
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
Directions
- Combine beans, broth, onion, carrots, rosemary and Parmesan rind in a 6-quart slow-cooker. Top with chicken. Cover and cook on Low until the beans and vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 hours.
- Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Shred the chicken, discarding bones.
- 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.
- Stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper; discard the Parmesan rind. Serve the stew drizzled with oil and sprinkled with Parmesan and parsley.
