INGREDIENTS
1 cup White Navy Beans (cooked)
3 ounces Chicken Breast, lean
1 medium Carrot
1 celery stalk
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
0.5 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked white beans if using canned or prepare dried beans in advance.
Dice the carrot, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, white beans, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Pour in a splash of water if necessary to create a light broth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.
Just before serving, fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for a minute.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
