Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 fresh bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 large sprig fresh sage
1 lb chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2 in (3 cm) pieces
3 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 white onion, thinly sliced
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2 (1 1/4 cm) in rounds
3 large cloves garlic, smashed
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional, plus more for serving
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
6 cups low sodium chicken stock
2 ½ cups small red potato, quartered
1 bunch lacinato kale, stemmed and torn into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the bouquet garni: Stack the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and sage on top of one another. Tie a 3-inch (7 cm) length of butcher's twine around the center of herbs and secure with a knot. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken all over with about 1 teaspoon salt.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pot looks dry. Melt the butter until just bubbling. Add the onion and carrots and season with ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and carrot is beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, if using. Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are well-coated and the flour is lightly toasted, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the chicken stock, bouquet garni, 2-3 teaspoons of salt, and the potatoes. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Return the chicken to the pot, along with the kale. Season the stew with more salt to taste and the black pepper. Cook until the chicken is warmed through and the kale is just wilted and tender, and the chicken is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Ladle the stew into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and more red pepper flakes. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

SLOW-COOKED CHICKEN STEW WITH KALE



Slow-Cooked Chicken Stew with Kale image

We found a way to get every iota of value from the chicken bones. They are cooked with the meat until it's tender, then we keep them going with the greens for even more flavor.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Chicken Skin Gremolata:
8 pieces chicken thigh skin (reserved from stew; see below)
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Lemon Oil:
1 small lemon, preferably organic and unwaxed, very thinly sliced into rounds, rounds cut into quarters
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of sugar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Stew and assembly:
4 lb. skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 8), patted dry
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
6 oz. bacon (about 6 slices), chopped
4 large shallots, quartered lengthwise
2 heads of garlic, halved crosswise
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 bunch parsley, stems tied together with kitchen twine
2 bay leaves
8 cups torn curly kale leaves
Thinly sliced radishes and/or thinly sliced red onion (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Chicken Skin Gremolata:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange chicken skin in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until dark golden brown and crisp all the way through, 12-18 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Combine chicken skin, garlic, parsley, and lemon zest in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  • Lemon Oil:
  • Combine lemon, olive oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and let sit at least 10 minutes, mixing once or twice.
  • Stew and assembly:
  • Season chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-low heat, stirring often, until brown and crisp, 7-10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a small bowl.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Working in 2 batches if needed, cook chicken thighs, skin side down, in the same pot until skin is golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and turn skin side up. Remove pot from heat. Let chicken cool slightly, then pull skin from meat and transfer to a shallow bowl; cover and chill (save for making the gremolata).
  • Return pot to medium heat and cook shallots and garlic, cut side down, in the same pot, tossing shallots occasionally, until shallots are browned in spots and garlic is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add wine, stirring to release any bits stuck on the bottom of pot, and cook until reduced by two-thirds, about 2 minutes. Add parsley, bay leaves, reserved bacon, and 8 cups water, season generously with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Return chicken thighs to pot and bring stew back up to a simmer. Cover with a lid, leaving slightly askew so steam can escape, and cook, adjusting heat to maintain a very gentle simmer and skimming foam from surface as needed, until meat is tender and easily pulls away from bones, 1-1 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer thighs to a cutting board and let cool 10-15 minutes; keep liquid at a simmer. Pull meat from bones and tear into bite-size pieces. Add bones back to pot as you go. Transfer meat to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Add kale and simmer until kale is tender and liquid is very flavorful, 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove stew from heat, add meat back to pot, and let cool uncovered (bones and all) until no longer steaming. Cover pot and chill stew at least 12 hours (you can skip this step, but it will dramatically improve the flavor).
  • Uncover stew and spoon off half to three-quarters of fat on the surface; discard. Gently reheat stew until barely simmering. Pluck out and discard bones, parsley, and bay leaves. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle stew into bowls and top as desired.
  • Do Ahead
  • Lemon oil can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using. Stew can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice for this stew. They're flavorful and will hold up well during the cooking process. If you don't have bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, but they may be a little less flavorful.
  • Brown the chicken before stewing. This will help to develop flavor and color. You can brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or you can roast it in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, or peppers.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices will help to add flavor to the stew. You can add any herbs and spices that you like, such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the chicken and allow the flavors to meld together. You can simmer the stew for longer if you like, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides. This stew can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or bread.

Conclusion:

Chicken and kale stew is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken and kale stew that is sure to impress your family and friends.
