directions

  • Heat the oil in a heavy 5 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the celery, carrot, and onion. Saute the vegetables until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, basil, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme.
  • Add the chicken breasts; press to submerge.
  • Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently uncovered until the chicken is almost cooked through, turning the chicken breasts over and stirring the mixture occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  • Using tongs, transfer the chicken breasts to a work surface and cool for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
  • Add the kidney beans to the pot and simmer until the liquid has reduced into a stew consistency, about 10 minutes.
  • Discard the skin and bones from the chicken breasts.
  • Shred or cut the chicken into bite- size pieces.
  • Return the chicken meat to the stew.
  • Bring the stew just to a simmer.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  1. I saw this on Food Network and thought it sounded good enough to try and I was right! It was easy to make with ingredients generally on hand. It had a great Italian flavor, but not too over-powering. Great comfort food.
