MARTHA STEWART'S CHICKEN AND KALE CASSEROLE RECIPE



Martha Stewart's Chicken and Kale Casserole Recipe image

Baked pasta dishes should be hearty, but sometimes they turn out heavy, too-and those two things don't necessarily need to go hand in hand. Sure, it's easy enough to load up a baking dish with pasta and cheese and meat and whatever else, but this recipe from Martha Stewart is a little more delicate. There's plenty of kale to stand in for some of the pasta, and an airy ricotta to keep things light.

CROCKPOT QUINOA, CHICKEN, AND KALE SOUP



Crockpot Quinoa, Chicken, and Kale Soup image

Delicious and nutritious! Found this on Pinterest, edited for my preferences. Quinoa makes it hearty and filling. The chicken was soooo tender, it just fell apart! I never used kale before but couldn't really taste it in this- I don't like cooked spinach in soup but I did like the kale! Could be topped with shredded parmesan cheese. Also, I like to freeze some of the leftovers in serving size ziploc bags.

Time 7h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces chicken breasts, raw
1 cup onions or 1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup celery or 2 stalks celery, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup quinoa, soaked
10 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups packed kale, chopped (thick ribs discarded)
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a 6 or 7 quart crockpot; add onion, celery, and garlic.
  • Add drained quinoa and pour in chicken broth.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH 3-4 hours, or LOW 7-8 hours.
  • Remove chicken and shred; return to soup.
  • Add in beans, kale, seasonings, and lemon juice; taste and adjust seasonings to preference; cover and cook on high for 30 minutes more, until kale is tender.

Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven for even cooking and a crispy crust.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before searing.
  • Cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a combination of kale and other hearty greens, such as spinach or Swiss chard, for a more flavorful and nutritious casserole.
  • Don't overcook the kale; it should be tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a richer flavor. A blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic choice.
  • Top the casserole with bread crumbs or panko for a crispy topping.
  • Bake the casserole until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
