InstructionsSpicy Smoky Chicken Kale Stew on Shockingly Delicious [2]

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon and onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bacon fat will render out and the onions will begin to color. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes.Spicy Smoky Chicken Kale Stew on Shockingly Delicious [3]
  2. Add tomatoes, Tabasco, water and kale and stir to combine. Cover pot, turn heat down to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Gently stir in beans, cover pot and continue to simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove pot from heat, stir in Italian parsley, and serve into bowls, passing the cheese at the table for garnish.Spicy Smoky Chicken Kale Stew on Shockingly Delicious [4]
