This classic French stew is typically an all-day cooking process, but here we use a few shortcuts, including a store-bought rotisserie chicken and canned beans, to deliver a delicious meal in a fraction of the time.

Why Try? White beans are an excellent source of fiber and protein. This also is a wonderful one-pot meal.

Foodie Byte: Be sure to make a double batch so you can freeze half for later.

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, add the sausage and cook until browned, stirring to break up the sausage as it cooks.
  2. Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Add the chicken, tomatoes, beans, broth and seasonings to pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Serve ladled into bowls with crusty French bread, if desired.
