Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

ITALIAN CHICKEN WITH WHITE BEANS



Italian Chicken With White Beans image

I'm making this tonight-posted for the nutrition info. From the Sonoma Diet. The original recipe calls for cannellini, but I have Great Northern so that's what I'm using.

Provided by greengirl512

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 23m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Instructions.
  • In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Add chicken; season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl stir together tomatoes, chicken broth, wine, and Italian seasoning. Pour over mixture in cooker. I'll bet you could make this with dry beans also, adding them here and maybe increasing the broth a little.
  • Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 31/2 hours. Turn off cooker and stir in beans. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.Unless, of course, you added dry beans at the beginning-then skip this step.
  • Using a slotted spoon, move chicken and vegetables to a serving dish, saving the cooking liquid. Drizzle chicken and vegetables with cooking liquid until moist. Top with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, as well as good-quality chicken and white beans. Avoid using canned beans, as they can be mushy and lack flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown, and it will not have as much flavor. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Be sure to season the chicken and vegetables well. This will help to develop their flavor and make the dish more flavorful.
  • Use a good-quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, will work well. Avoid using a sweet wine, as it will make the sauce too sweet.
  • Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavors and make the sauce more flavorful.
  • Serve the dish over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Italian Chicken with White Beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the white beans add a touch of heartiness. Serve this dish over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
