Instructions

Detailed Preparation Method: Passo a Passo

1

Prepare the Chicken for Perfect Crunch: Start by drying the chicken breast fillets very well with paper towels. The secret to this recipe is ensuring the chicken is as dry as possible before seasoning. Then, season generously on both sides with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika, for an extra special flavor.

2

Start the Creamy Bean Stew: While the chicken absorbs the seasonings, start preparing the beans. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, releasing its sweet aromas and preparing the base for the sauce. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

3

Aromas and Flavor for the Bean Sauce: Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the sautéed onion, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown too much, as it can turn bitter. The professional technique is to cook quickly to enhance the flavor without burning. Add the bay leaves at this time.

4

Integrate the Tomatoes and Broth: Pour the tomato sauce or chopped peeled tomatoes into the pan, mixing well with the onion and garlic. Next, add the chicken (or vegetable) broth, letting the mixture simmer gently. Adjust the heat to medium-low, allowing the flavors to develop slowly, forming a rich base.

5

Add the Beans and Simmer: Drain and rinse the canned white beans well to remove excess sodium and starch. Add the beans to the pot, along with the heavy cream. Mix gently and let the bean sauce cook over low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, so it thickens slightly and the flavors infuse.

6

Grill the Chicken until Golden: While the beans cook, heat the remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. The most important tip is not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure crunchiness.

7

Finish with Garlic Butter: Remove the chicken from the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. As soon as it melts, add the remaining 2 chopped garlic cloves and fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme). Cook for 30 seconds, just until the garlic is fragrant. In simple terms: we are creating an aromatic garlic butter for brushing.

8

Brush the Chicken and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and brush generously with the scented garlic butter, turning to coat all sides. Let the chicken absorb the flavors for one more minute over low heat. Serve the crispy chicken immediately over the creamy beans, finishing with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.

Chef Tips

- Enxágue os feijões brancos em conserva em água corrente para eliminar o excesso de sódio antes de integrar ao refogado - Não mexa nos filés de frango enquanto estiverem dourando na frigideira de fundo grosso para formar uma crosta crocante - Amasse parte dos grãos de feijão branco com as costas da colher para espessar o caldo sem amido extra

Variations

- Adicione cubos crocantes de bacon dourado ou rodelas finas de linguiça artesanal ao refogado de feijão branco - Incorpore duas xícaras de folhas de espinafre fresco ao feijão cremoso nos minutos finais de fogo brando - Finalize o frango pincelando manteiga de ervas frescas e alho confitado antes de posicionar sobre o feijão

Substitutions

- O feijão branco enlatado pode ser substituído por feijão fradinho, feijão manteiga ou grão-de-bico previamente cozidos - O creme de leite fresco pode ser substituído por requeijão cremoso de boa qualidade ou natas batidas - O peito de frango pode ser substituído por sobrecoxas desossadas grelhadas ou medalhões de lombo suíno

How to Store

Keep the chicken and creamy beans in separate containers under refrigeration for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the beans in a pan adding 2 tablespoons of broth and brown the chicken in the skillet to renew the crust.

Can You Freeze It?

Creamy beans can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 60 days without loss of quality. Frozen grilled chicken loses some of the skin's crispiness, so it is better to grill fresh fillets at the time of serving.

What to Serve With

Exemplarily accompanies slices of thick-crusted rustic bread for dipping in the creamy beans and fresh arugula salad with tomato. To pair as a drink, serve with a Pinot Noir red wine or a blonde ale beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get the chicken breast golden on the outside without drying out the center?

Use medium-high heat, keep the meat dry when seasoning, sear for 4 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other, letting it rest before slicing.

Can I cook dry white beans from scratch in a pressure cooker?

Yes, cook 250 g of dried white beans soaked in water with bay leaves in a pressure cooker for about 25 minutes until soft, draining before.
