Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, diced
1 carrot, peeled, diced
1 small onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, with ribs (2)
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained (rinsed)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the celery, carrot, and onion. Saute the vegetables until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, basil, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme.
  • Add the chicken breasts.
  • Bring the cooking liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently uncovered until the chicken is almost cooked through, turning the chicken breasts over and stirring the mixture occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and cool for 5 minutes.
  • Discard the bay leaf.
  • Add the kidney beans to the pot and simmer until the liquid has reduced into a stew consistency, about 10 minutes.
  • Discard the skin and bones from the chicken breasts.
  • Shred the chicken into bite- size pieces. Return the chicken meat to the stew. Bring the stew just to a simmer.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I didn't even notice it in this stew. It was so well-blended with the other flavors.
