Chicken & white bean stew

So flavorful Thank you

I love this recipe. I used some bacon and garlic as extra flavourings as some of the commenters suggested and it was so tasty. It is a perfect winter dish, both filling and full of goodness.

We really liked this, but thought it more of a thick soup. I did use less liquid and only 1 can of beans, also fried 2 bacon rashers first which added more flavour to the oil. I then chopped them up and garnished the dish with the at the end. A keeper

Didn't add anything just a bit more seasoning and it was delicious.

Great meal. Added a few extras - smoked bacon lardons, chorizo, Spanish pimentón, turmeric and used one tin of borlotti beans as well as one of haricot. The broth, I thickened, was one of the best tastes we've had, combine that with the rest of the ingredients and this is a major hit!

Added garlic and cauliflower as suggested and a few green olives. Definitely more of a soup than a stew but very very good, use a good quality stock and you're laughing!

After reading the comments I added garlic, chilli, bacon, twice as much thyme and to garnish chopped spring onions and because we prefer it coriander.

I always add garlic and use a good strong chicken stock. Hearty warming pick me up best eaten while curled up on the sofa

I've not made this recipe as advertised yet, but instead adapted it as many others have. I'm a lazy cook, so use bacon lardons, chicken thigh fillets, frozen diced onion, fresh garlic, frozen casserole veg, tinned baby new potatoes and whatever beans are to hand (butter beans are lovely) and the recommended stock and seasonings. I portion it up and use it for lunches at work with a small piece of crusty bread. Apart from the lardons there isn't a drop of fat in this meal and yet it is so delicious and moorish. Hands down my favourite winter warmer!

After reading earlier reviews I added garlic, chopped smoked bacon, extra thyme, dried herbs de Provence and bouquet garni to the pot. To give it some colour I added a tin of borlotti beans and a bag of frozen soya beans. It was devine. I didn't bother to add creme fraiche, as suggested by another reviewer, as it didn't need it in the end. I think it would have been very bland without a little additional 'help'.
