Crispy Chicken Thighs With White Beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 pound)
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 Fresno pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 (15-ounce) can unsalted cannellini beans, undrained
- 1/3 cup prepared pesto
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan, skin side down. Cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high; place another heavy skillet, bottom-side down, directly onto chicken (if your skillet isn't heavy, you can place 1 to 2 canned goods on top to weigh it down). Cook 5 minutes or until skin is crispy. Remove top skillet. Turn chicken over; cook 2 minutes or until done. Remove chicken from pan.
- Return pan to high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan. Add onion and pepper to pan; saute 2 minutes or until lightly charred. Add beans to pan; cook 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gently stir in pesto.
