Description

When the cold months roll around, one-skillet recipes are a great way to warm up without having to spend too much time in the kitchen. Rustic Chicken & White Bean Stew is one such one-skillet meal that packs a punch of hearty protein and savory flavors that will surely create a soul-satisfying dinner.


Ingredients

2 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ medium red onion, finely chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large stalks celery, sliced
2 medium carrots, sliced and cut into half rounds
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
1½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 3-oz. Cajun andouille sausage, sliced
3 c. chicken broth
2 T. fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped (or 2 t. dried)
1 T. fresh thyme leaves (or 1 t. dried)
2 whole bay leaves
1 29-oz. can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
3 T. fresh parsley, finely chopped


Instructions

  1. Add one-tablespoon olive oil to a large high-sided skillet or Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and develop some color, approximately 4-5 minutes.

  2. Add the chicken thighs, sliced sausage, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.

  3. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the chicken pulls apart easily with two forks.

  4. Add the cannellini beans and stir to combine. Simmer for another 4-5 minutes, or just until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley right before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

The primary difference between a soup and a stew is the amount of liquid used to prepare it. To stretch your grocery budget a bit farther, double the amount of broth (or use a combination of broth and water) and add some chopped greens, such as spinach, kale, or escarole, to make a rich, satisfying soup instead.
