It's bound to happen once in a while, right? A total dud. The worst part was that I was really hungry, so the bowl-full I did have was forced down.

It was bland, the greens were over-cooked, and the chicken was dry. I added more salt and pepper, but that just made it taste like salt and pepper.

Here's the recipe anyway, just to remind me what not to do next time.

2 small chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt & pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 leek, sliced
3 cups finely diced potatoes (8 small)
4 cups shredded kale
8 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp dijon mustard

In a small bowl, combine the chicken pieces, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add chicken and cook until outside is no longer pink. Add leeks and cook a couple more minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about an hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
