Instructions

Creating Middle Eastern Chicken Stew with White Beans is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic and Carrots: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Cook Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides, around 5-7 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Peppers and Spices: Add the diced red bell pepper, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3 minutes.
  6. Combine with Liquids: Pour the can of diced tomatoes (with juices) and chicken broth into the pot. Stir everything together.
  7. Simmer the Stew: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 40 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  8. Add White Beans: After 40 minutes, stir in the drained white beans and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
  9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the stew and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
