Preparation

Step 1

1.

In a dutch oven, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium heat. Crumble in the Italian sausage and brown lightly, about 3 minutes. Add the andouille and cook until crisp at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
2.

Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper, add to the pot and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the onion, celery, carrots and bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until nearly dry, about 5 minutes. Return the sausages to the pot, add the cannellini beans, chicken broth and sage and cook until heated through.
3.

Preheat the broiler. Using a food processor, coarsely chop the baguette. Toss with the melted butter, parsley and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Scatter the bread over the sausage and chicken and broil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve from the pot, discarding the bay leaf.
