Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
300 milliliters dry white wine
150 milliliters water
400 grams canned flageolet beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 handful Large handful fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken thighs in the pan and sear them on all sides until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried thyme to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Pour the white wine and water into the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken thighs to the pan and bring the liquid to a simmer.
Cover the pan with a lid and continue to simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fork-tender and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
Stir the drained flageolet beans into the pan and cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes just to warm them through.
Transfer the braised chicken and bean mixture to a serving dish or bowl. Scatter the roughly chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately.
