Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 15-oz cans canned white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs lightly with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Stir in the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the white beans, fresh rosemary, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, submerging them in the liquid. Cover and cook on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the chicken thighs and shred them into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Add the baby spinach and lemon juice. Stir until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, as needed.
Serve the stew warm with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a complete meal.
