30-Minute French Cassoulet Recipe Tastes Like It Simmered All Day Chicken Recipes Dinner

Cassoulet, a classic French stew recipe made with beans and meat, usually takes hours to make. This easy cassoulet recipe is table ready in about 30 minutes, but tastes like it has cooked all day.

The smell of this cassoulet is amazing. My daughter used to take the leftovers to school for lunch. It never failed that one of the teachers asked for her to get the recipe from me. Now that's a good chicken recipe.

Cuisine: French
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 boneless chicken breasts or 4 boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (skin on or off)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Here's how you make it:

1. Mash 1/2 cup of the beans. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a pan and cook chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Pour the other 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the same pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. 
4. Add rosemary, thyme, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, 1 more minute. 
5. Turn heat to high and add wine. Cook, stirring, until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
