Ingredients

• 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 cups Canned white beans (such as cannellini or great Northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step is optional but adds flavor.

Step 2

Transfer the seared chicken thighs to the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 3

Add the drained and rinsed white beans, diced onion, sliced carrots, minced garlic, and bay leaf to the crock pot, spreading them evenly around the chicken.

Step 4

Nestle the rosemary sprigs into the mixture, ensuring they are slightly submerged for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, lemon juice, remaining salt, black pepper, and (if desired) crushed red pepper flakes. Pour this liquid mixture over the contents of the crock pot.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 7

Before serving, discard the bay leaf and rosemary sprigs. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the chicken, beans, and vegetables in bowls. For an added touch, garnish with fresh rosemary or a squeeze of lemon juice. Enjoy your comforting meal!
