In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove bread crumbs to a bowl and cool. Stir in the chopped parsley until well mixed.
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the chicken sausage and cook an additional 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned. Stir in the carrots and garlic, and cook about 2-3 minutes, until carrots are tender and crisp.
Add the beans, tomatoes, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf salt and pepper. Increase temperature to high and bring mixture to a soft boil. Stir in kale and stir continuously until kale wilts, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the mustard.

Add bean mixture to the prepare dish and sprinkle evenly with bread crumbs.
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
