Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the broth has absorbed, the apple is soft and the kale is wilted. Stir in the sausage and stir to reheat. Remove from the heat. Serve topped with parsley.
This is the time to prepare the rice. Warm the can of black beans. Place a scoop of rice in a bowl, place a scoop of black beans over rice, and ladle chicken and sausage over rice and beans.
