Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Sweet potato (peeled and diced)
• 3 medium Carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 2 medium Parsnips (peeled and diced)
• 2 cups Butternut squash (peeled and cubed)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 cups Kale (stems removed, leaves chopped)
• 6 cups Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 1 14.5-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 Bay leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Crusty bread or rolls (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sear for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned (they do not need to cook through). Set aside.

Step 2

In the bottom of a crock pot, layer the diced sweet potato, carrots, parsnips, butternut squash, and onion.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, kale, chicken broth, diced tomatoes with their juices, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Nestle the seared chicken thighs into the vegetables and liquid in the crock pot.

Step 5

Sprinkle in bay leaves, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6–7 hours or on high heat for 3–4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken shreds easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs, shred them with two forks, and stir the shredded chicken back into the stoup.

Step 8

Discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the stoup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread or rolls on the side if desired.
