one of my fave meals is what I call artichoke stew that I throw into a crock pot
as this is a crock pot thing, all measurements are estimates
this batch consisted of one bag TJs pearl onions, browned in cast iron (16 oz) 2 cans diced tomato ~one jar (tj's sized) roasted pepper, diced (12 oz?) ~one can artichoke hearts - diced 4 chicken thighs a bunch or torn up kale ~ 1 tbs thyme juice of quarter of lemon salt and pepper to taste
method - the only prep I do with this is to brown up the onion in a bit of butter or olive oil. toss that with everything but the kale and lemon and cook 5-7 hours on low (a bit more if the chicken is frozen)
during the last hour I add the kale. I pull the chicken out and shred it and put it back in. finish it with a bit of lemon to brighten everything up
I also use spinach in this instead of kale - but I only put it in right at the end to wilt down - otherwise it just become gray
you can go veg/vegan by taking the chicken out and sub chickpeas
