Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. baby yellow potatoes, quartered
  • 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 small bunch thyme
  • 4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 c. whole milk
  • 1 tbsp. chicken bouillon paste
  • 2 tsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale, center ribs and stems removed, chopped (about 4 c.) 

Directions

  1. 1

    Season chicken all over with salt and pepper and place in a slow cooker. Add potatoes, cream cheese, onion, carrot, jalapeño, garlic, and thyme and stir to combine. Add broth, milk, bouillon, curry powder, and oregano; season with salt and pepper.
