Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients Olive Oil
1 1/2 pound boneless skinless Chicken Thighs
Salt and Pepper to taste

instructions For the Stew: Preheat the oven broiler on high. Place a heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chicken thighs evenly with salt and pepper. Add the thighs to the pan in an even layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Brown the thighs on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from the pan. Cut into bite size pieces.

step 2

ingredients 1 pound Spicy Italian Sausage (removed from casing)
1 Yellow Onion (small diced)
3 Carrots (small diced)
1 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper
3 Garlic cloves (chopped)
3 sprigs Thyme
1 sprig Rosemary

instructions Add the sausage and brown evenly, breaking up with a wooden spoon, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add more oil if the pan seems dry. Add the onion and carrot and season with the red chili pepper, salt and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion just begins to softened. Add the garlic, thyme and rosemary. Cook for one minute longer.

step 3

ingredients 1 cup Chicken Stock
1 28-ounce can Crushed Tomatoes
2 14-ounce cans Navy Beans (drained and rinsed)

instructions Add the chicken stock and scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Once it has reduced by half, add the crushed tomatoes and navy beans.

1/2 cup Parsley (leaves picked and chopped)
