  • Place all ingredients except for the fresh parsley in a slow cooker and heat on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours.

Notes

Can Fresh Kale be substituted for frozen?

Yes. To use fresh kale instead of frozen simply add it 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Alternatively, Swiss chard or spinach would work well too.

Do you cook the chicken first or let it cook in the slow cooker?

Nope, it cooks in the slow cooker!! You can use raw.
