The chicken flavour is better, and they cook devine in there. I do not put the kale in the slow cooker, I rip it up per your instructions and saute with oil, garlic, salt and pepper, and finely diced white onion, flash steamed at the end of saute with a bit of that chicken broth.

When I got home I added a little more salt, a chopped fresh tomato, a lot of hot Jamaican curry powder and some garam masala. Then I topped it off with a little sour cream. It was a delicious stew and was not soupy at all.

I'd fallen asleep with our oldest last night and didn't make any preps for tonight's supper. At 7:30 this morning, I brought up your site and searched through the chicken recipes. By 8, I'd thrown a bunch of things in the crock pot and we were out the door. I heavily modified it, but this is the recipe we tried.

(A little tapioca powder thickened it right up though.) However, the spices were very dull; we could only taste cumin. Next time, I'll try some cayenne powder.
