Hearty stews are so warm and comforting during colder months. So, I’m always on the lookout for yummy recipes that are a snap to whip up. That’s why I love this Chicken, Barley and Kale Stew recipe. It cooks up in the slow cooker so you can set it and forget it until it’s time to eat. Plus, it’s packed with good-for-you ingredients that are as delicious as they are nutritious.
For a healthier start, we use with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They’re incredibly tender and are lower in fat than the skin-on variety. Kale is a super-star veggie loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Carrots contain beta-carotene and help improve immunity, while barley is a good source of fiber and aids in lowering cholesterol. Simply toss everything into the pot, kick back and let the wonderful aromas waft through the house. Give it a try then let us know what you think.
