Garlic Chicken and Peppers with Beans
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces (3 1/2 pounds)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves, or 8 large fresh leaves, snipped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 can (15 ounces) white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) small red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup (packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Heat the oil in a deep 6-quart flameproof casserole over medium-high heat.
- Add the bell peppers, cover, and cook over low heat until tender, 5 minutes.
- While these are cooking, remove the skin from the chicken pieces (except for the wings, where it is just too hard).
- Push the peppers to the side and add the chicken.
- Cook over medium heat just to stiffen the flesh, 2 minutes on each side.
- Remove the breast pieces from the casserole and set them aside.
- Add the wine, broth, garlic, and sage and bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover, transfer the casserole to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Return the breast meat to the casserole, and add the white and red beans.
- Continue to bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, 15 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, coarsely chop the parsley.
- Serve the chicken in deep bowls, sprinkled with fresh parsley and swimming in all its lovely fragrant juices.
- Or, using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken and beans to a serving plate.
- Boil the juices down until only 2 cups remain, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Adjust the seasoning, stir in the parsley, and ladle the sauce over the chicken and beans.
- Time: 15 minutes preparation.
- 1 hour no-work baking time.
