One Pot Chicken Stew With Mushrooms, Beans, Walnut And Sage

• 2 tablespoons the best quality olive oil
• 3/4 cup walnut halves
• 4 large boneless chicken thighs, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut in 2-inches pieces
• About 1/2 pound salami or kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 large onion or 2-3 shallots, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, diced
• 8 oz Crimini mushrooms, small left whole, larger halved
• 2 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon dried sage + 5-6 leaves, julienned for garnish
• 1/2 cup dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
• 1 cup homemade or low-sodium prepared chicken broth
• 1 large carrot, halved and cut in half-moon pieces
• 1 15-ounce can white beans, well rinsed and drained
• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add the oil; then add walnuts and cook, stirring until golden, fragrant and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. To the same skillet, where you now have walnut infused oil, add chicken in a single layer; add a large pinch of salt and pepper; cook until browned. Turn ones, about 3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon transfer to a plate.
3. Add wine, increase heat to high and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits, until the wine has reduced by about half, 2 to 4 minutes.
4. Add broth, salami, the reserved beans, carrot and chicken; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Now is a good time to taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
5. In a food processor pulse a few times the walnuts until coarsely crushed.rnterve hot, top each portion with walnuts and the fresh julienned sage.
6. To make ahead; cool to room temperature; cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated to 350 degrees oven for about 20 to 30 minutes in a oven proof dish, covered with a lid and then top with walnuts and sage.
