Method

step 1

Heat the oil in a wide pan with a lid, add the chicken, then quickly cook to brown it all over.
step 2

Tip in the onion, garlic and thyme, then fry for a further 2 mins. Pour in the wine, 150ml water and a little salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 mins, covering halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is tender.
step 3

Stir the beans into the pan and briefly warm through. Roughly chop the parsley, then scatter over to serve.

RECIPE TIPS

HEALTHY BENEFITS

Chicken thighs supply twice the levels of iron and zinc of breast meat and are rich in tryptophan, which helps to lift your mood and promotes restful sleep. Flageolet beans are packed with B vitamins.
