I don’t remember where I found this recipe. Probably Pinterest! The flavors of this fantastic chicken stew
were amazing. So much deliciousness in
one bowl – who knew? The combination of
the chicken and sausage with white beans is really superb. My mouth is watering as I remember this silky
and delightful stew. Mmm…. Guess I know
what I’m going to be making for dinner tonight!
Ingredients:
1 pound
skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound skinless,
boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ pound
chicken sausage, sliced
Juice of one
lime
Salt and
freshly ground pepper
⅓ cup
vegetable oil
1 large
onion, chopped
3 garlic
cloves, minced
1 tablespoon
paprika, or to taste
1 tablespoon
tomato paste
4 cups
chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon
thyme leaves
1½ cups
cooked white beans (I used canned and rinsed them thoroughly)
1 tablespoon
flour
¼ cup
parsley
Directions:
In a large bowl, toss the chicken and sausage with the lime
juice and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a dutch oven, over medium high
heat, and brown the chicken and sausage, about 2 minutes per side. Depending on
the size of your pot, you will have to work in 3-4 batches, adding more oil
when necessary. Remove the chicken/sausage to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining oil and sauté
the onions and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Then, add the paprika
and the tomato paste and stir to combine.
Return the chicken and sausage to the pot.
Add the chicken broth and the bay leaves and thyme. Once the
liquid starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for 30 to
40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and almost falling apart.
With a ladle, remove a bit of the broth into a cup and stir
in the flour to make a roux. Return the roux to the pot and add the beans. Cook
for 10 more minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Taste for seasoning and add more salt and/or pepper, if
necessary. Remove the bay leaves and sprinkle the parsley.
Serve immediately, over rice or with bread.
