A hearty and simple dish that will have your family scrambling for seconds. Break out the crusty bread to mop up the drippings. You won’t want to miss a smidgen of this tasty dish!
1 TBS Olive oil
1/2 of a bulb of fennel, trimmed, cored and coarsely chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp minced fresh rosemary
4 large boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite siz chunks
(about 285g or 10 ounces)
pinch salt and coarse black pepper
140g thinly sliced smoked garlic sausage (1 cup)
1 TBS flour
1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes in tomato juice (14 ounce)
25ml water (1 cup)
1 300g tin of white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (10 1/2 ounces)
2 slices of fresh white bread, made into crumbs (about 1/2 cup)
a large handful of freshly parsley chopped (about 1/4 cup)
Heat half of the oil in a large skillet. Add all of the vegetables and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat, until they begin to soften. Remove to a bowl. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add to the pan, along with the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink.
Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5. Have ready a large shallow casserole dish.
Add the flour to the chicken in the pan. Cook and stir for about a minute. Add the tomatoes and water. Bring to the boil, then reduce. Stir in the thyme, rosemary and beans. Return the cooked vegetable mixture to the pan. Pour the whole lot into the casserole dish. Cover tightly and bang it into the oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Melt the butter in a clean skillet. Add the bread crumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the crumbs are golden brown. Stir in half of the parsley and set aside.
Remove the casserole from the oven. Stir in the remaining half of the parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as required. Top with the crisp crumbs and serve immediately.
I hope you will give this a go and that you enjoy it as much as we did. Bon Appetit!
