Vive la France! Real bistro cooking - quick and tasty. This one comes from the CANADIAN BEAN COUNCIL via Vicki Gabereau's CBC radio program. (On occasion, I have been known to double both the wine and the beans ... heck, I ALWAYS do it!) Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
1/2 lb hot italian sausage, cut in 1/2 inch slices |
3 medium carrots, sliced thinly |
1 medium onion, sliced thinly |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/2 cup dry red wine |
1 bay leaf |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 (14 ounce) can pork and beans in tomato sauce |
chopped parsley |
Directions:
1. In a large, lidded stovetop casserole, heat the oil over medium-high heat. 2. Brown the chicken, and remove. 3. Brown the sausage. 4. Add the chicken, carrots, onion and garlic and saute for 2 additional minutes. 5. Drain off the fat. 6. Stir in the wine, bay leaf, thyme and pepper. 7. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink. 8. Stir in the beans and heat through. 9. Sprinkle parsley on top. 10. NOTE: Instead of dry red wine, you can substitute 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar. |
