What’s in Chicken with White Beans?
Savor the taste of Italy with this tasty Italian skillet chicken! We love the addition of white beans to this dish. White beans are often found in many Italian dishes like minestrone, so it offers a wonderful depth of flavor with the tomatoes, spinach, and capers.
Chicken: I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but thighs would also work. Italian Seasoning: Adds a delicious herbal flavor. Salt + Pepper: Enhances the flavor of the chicken. Olive Oil: Helps the chicken and veggies cook without burning. Yellow Onion: Adds a sweet and earthy flavor. Bell Pepper: Adds a fresh and earthy flavor. You can use any color. Garlic: Adds an earthy flavor and pungent aroma. Grape Tomatoes: Add brightness and acidity. White Beans: Add creaminess. I used canned to save time, but you can make your own. Chicken Broth: Makes this dish saucy. Spinach: Adds a pop of color and is packed with vitamins and minerals. Capers: Add a pop of brininess.
Pro Tip: Pat the chicken dry to help the seasoning adhere and to prevent oil splatters.
