Chicken With White Beans and Tomatoes
Fresh thyme and oregano infuse this dish with wonderful aromas and flavors. If you have leftovers, you can shred the meat and add to chicken broth for a delicious bean soup.

I have been making this for years, my husband, 5 yr old and 12 yr old ask for it at least once a month. It’s very tasty w the roasted tomo and some sea salt... good lord!
Simple yes, tasty no. Dry and bland. I added the wine and cooked beans from scratch but otherwise followed recipe. Boring.
A keeper.
Can boneless chicken breasts be used instead of the chicken with the bones?
I have made this several times and follow the recipe. It is simple yet delicious and good enough to serve company. As a matter of fact I am serving it tonight with wine, crusty French bread, salad...and tiramisu. Now that's a complete meal!
My family loves this recipe!! The beans and tomatoes come out so yummy! I make it exactly like it says to and it's great every time. I made it with bone in chicken breasts once for company who does not like dark meat. Turned out great.
It's hard to beat this simple & rustic dish. I added dry chardonnay like the recipe suggested. I halved the recipe for the most part, but used about a pint of cherry tomatoes from our garden. I used 4 garlic cloves and upped the amount of crushed red pepper flakes. I also used boneless chicken breasts in place of the thighs. In doing this, I seared the chicken quickly on each side to get a little bit of browning and I reduced the oven temp to 400 degrees and cooked for about 35 minutes.

Made this last summer a number of times with fresh tiny tomatoes, oregano and thyme from the garden. WIll try the white wine and the spinach this year. After the first time, I doubled the recipe, used a larger pan and added a little more garlic than the recipe stated. It was the perfect one pot dish to make and serve with salad and corn bread after a busy day at the beach. Everyone asked for seconds.
One of my absolute favorite one pot dishes because it is so easy and so delicious. I agree that it makes for great leftovers. I always use the "quick tip" with the white wine to give the flavor an extra kick. I am usually more likely to have boneless, skinless chicken breasts on hand and those work perfectly fine too. One thing I do to ensure even cooking of the tomatos/beans is to take the pan out of the oven halfway through cooking and just quickly mix stuff around
Made this last night which was perfect...I did add the spinach so we could get more veggies in our diet. My husband thought it was super fancy for a mid-week dinner, but loved it. I also added the white wine and I'll definately add this to my "company dinner" list.
As a 24 year old young professional, I'm always looking for an easy meal that's also cost effective and good for leftovers. This is it! I add mushrooms and a little white wine to mine and after reading the posts below, will probably try spinach in it tonight. It makes the whole house smell as if you've been cooking all day!
This is delicious.
This recipe was a big hit with my husband and I. Very simple to put together. I added a package of baby spinach to the beans and tomato layer, because I wanted to add more vegetables to the dish. Also, the wine adds a lot of flavor. Delicious! I will definitely make this again.
I truly love this recipe. It's so easy to come home, throw some tomatoes and beans in a pan, top with the chicken and crack the bottle of wine. So...easy.... and so delicious. The beans take on the chicken-y flavour from the rendered fat and the top beans get nicely caramelized. lovely. one of my favourites!
Cannot begin to express how EASY and yummy this dish is! I am not really a cook but i adore yummy, clean food. This dish was so Simple, Tasty and inexpensive to make. Even my 2 year old loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best recipes I've ever made. It will definitely be a staple in my culinary repitoire. I use more garlic and hot pepper than the recipe calls for. It is absolutely delicious! 5 stars!
I can't wait to prepare this dish again tomorrow night! My husband prefers chicken breast, so I will substitute for him. By all means add the dry white wine as suggested. It adds a lot of depth and flavor to the dish. I used dried herbs to cut the cost. I just sort of guessed as to the amount. What an easy and flavorful dish.
I was excited to try this out because it looked so simple, but was nervous about a potential lack of flavor. Turns out I had nothing to worry about- the tomatoes and white beans stewed perfectly with the fresh herbs and chicken to make a really luscious sauce that was perfect for dipping bread into! Next time I will definitely try adding white wine. Fresh herbs really made this awesome. Blogged about it here: http://totalnoms.com/2011/01/chicken-white-beans-tomatoes/
I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and the chicken was very moist. Cooking the chicken on the beans may have helped with that. The seasoning was great and added great flavor to the beans. Next time I would add more grape tomatoes. I did not have crushed red pepper. I do not like really spicy things anyway, so I added fresh chopped red and yellow peppers that I had. I wish I had seen the tip of adding a 1/2 cup wine. I served this with cornbread leftover from the night before and it went surprisingly well with it. One child commented on how good the chicken was and another commented on how good the beans were so, I guess I'll be making this again!
Really great recipe! I've never cooked chicken thighs before and was a little intimated but everything turned out great! I stuck with the fresh herbs and added the wine to the beans. Really simple to put together and easy one dish cleanup. The chicken was incredibly moist and had lots of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!
How much dried oregano and thyme did you put in?
This dish was great and easy to prepare. We added the wine as suggested and we also added some pickled jalapeños and kalamata olives to the bean and tomato mixture. We found that dried oregano and thyme worked just fine too. I lined the baking dish with parchment paper for easier clean up too.
