Description
A hearty and flavorful One Pot Cassoulet, a classic French stew made simple for your kitchen. This recipe brings together tender meats and beans in a single pot for an easy yet impressive meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound pancetta, diced
- 2 cups dried cannellini beans, soaked overnight and drained
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, brown the chicken, sausage, and pancetta over medium-high heat. Remove the meats with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Stir in the drained cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Return the browned meats to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
- Season the One Pot Cassoulet with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a quicker bean cooking time, you can use canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed. Add them during the last 30 minutes of simmering.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery along with the onion.
- This One Pot Cassoulet can be made a day in advance and reheated; the flavors often improve overnight.
