Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 4 C Shredded Chicken You can use a rotisserie chicken or shred your own. Organic is best.
  • 6 C bone broth
  • 1 bunch kale I used red Russian kale, but you can use any type you'd like
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1/2 C olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 avocado

Instructions

  • Wash kale, stack, and slice into 1/2 inch strips. Set aside. Or you can buy a bag of pre-washed, cut kale and slice.
  • Add 2 cups of stock, the chopped onion and olive oil to blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Add blend to instant pot and 4 remaining cups of broth, kale, shredded chicken, zest of all three lemons and tbsp of fresh lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt.
  • Let cook for 8 minutes on manual high or slow cooker setting for 6 hours on low stirring once or twice. 
    If using an instant pot, make sure to seal pot correctly and set lid on "sealing" mode. It will take time for the pot to pressurize, so take that in to account when preparing your meal.
    After 8 minutes are up you can choose to manual release the steam or allow the pot to release naturally on its own. If you have time, it is best to do natural release to let the flavors blend longer. 
    Will stay fresh refrigerated for a up to a week.
