Hi! Remember last month when I shared that Baked Salmon with Herbed Yogurt from Better Homes and Gardens? Well I’ve got another great recipe for you today that’s inspired by a recipe in their October issue.

Today’s hearty recipe is just right for cooler days ahead. It’s a pot of perfectly cooked chicken nestled in seasoned beans and sausage. The original recipe was included in a feature on the versatility of beans. Other dishes included Spanish-Style Gigante Beans, Stewed Fava Beans with Sweet Potatoes, and Beer-Braised Beef with Pinto Beans. It was hard to choose just one recipe to share, but I’m a sucker for bacon and sausage. (I think you are too!)

The recipe as printed called for dry beans, and the total cooking time was over four hours. In order to speed that up for weary people like us, I used canned beans. I also simplified the ingredient list a bit to make it even easier. My version might not be quite as perfect as the original, but it tasted pretty darn good to me! Here’s the original magazine version:

Not too shabby, right? If I can make this picture perfect dish, I know you can too! (Seriously. You can see an example here of how not fancy I am.)

I’m not sure if this is a stew or what since it’s kind of soupy but has whole pieces of chicken in it. I would call it good soppin’ food, so serve it with crusty bread and sop up all those tasty juices. A glass of cabernet sauvignon on the side would be welcome too. Perfect comfort food! This is definitely a dish to make when you have a bit of time to spend in the kitchen. Even with my time-saving shortcuts, it was still at least a half hour of active cooking and then another half hour in the oven. It’s great leftover though, so you could definitely make it ahead and reheat later.
