ITALIAN CHICKEN WITH WHITE BEANS

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.

TUSCAN CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH WHITE BEANS



Tuscan Chicken Cutlets with White Beans image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds thin-cut chicken cutlets
Kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, undrained
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Mix the flour with 2 teaspoons rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the buttermilk in another shallow bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir to make clumps. Dip the cutlets one at a time in the flour, then in the buttermilk, then back in the flour again to make a shaggy coating. (You should use all of the flour mixture.) Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the garlic is lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the cannellini beans and their liquid, 3/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes; add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook until deep golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Stir the parsley into the beans and divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken to the plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Italian chicken with ham, basil & beans image

A great recipe for the end of the summer, using sweet roasted tomatoes and garlic. Serve with the best crusty bread you can get you hands on

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 skinless chicken thighs , bone in
8 slices prosciutto or other dry-cured ham
2 tbsp olive oil
2 whole heads garlic
800g tomatoes (a mix of smaller yellow and red tomatoes looks good)
175ml dry white wine
400g can cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
large bunch basil

Steps:

  • Season the chicken thighs all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pinch off 8 sprigs from the basil (about 3 leaves each per sprig) and lay one on top of each chicken thigh. Wrap each thigh in a piece of ham, with the ends tucked underneath.
  • Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Heat the oil in a large roasting tin over two of the burners on the hob. Add the chicken and fry for about 4 mins or until the ham is just crisped and the chicken is lightly golden. Turn and repeat.
  • Meanwhile, cut the garlic bulbs in half around the middle and halve the tomatoes if small, quarter them if they're big. Pick the leaves from the rest of the basil. Once the chicken has browned on both sides, add all of the tomatoes, half of the basil and the wine. Season then cover with foil and leave to cook slowly in the oven for 40 mins.
  • Take out of the oven and turn the heat up to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Remove the foil from the pan and stir the beans into the tomatoey juices. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 30 mins until the tomatoes, chicken and garlic are starting to crisp around the edges and the chicken is very tender. Just before serving, tear the remaining basil roughly then stir through or scatter over the pan.
