Evan's Own Chicken and Beans Concoction

Hello folks! It's time for another update. As has been a trend in my previous posts, I've become a fan of pairing chicken with beans. And again, I've decided to post another chicken + bean delicacy. This time, however, instead of following some sort of recipe, I decided to make up my own!!!

Ingredients: 

Left to right: Pepper, Salt, Crushed Red Pepper, Olive Oil, Oregano, Thyme, Chicken Thighs (8 to be exact)

Not pictured: 30 oz. Cannellini Beans

1) Pour the beans into a casserole dish. Evenly distribute it out among the dish. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. You want to make sure the beans are slick and oily, but not to the point where it gets disgusting. Then, add salt and pepper, oregano, and thyme to taste.

2) Now, toss everything together with two spoons...because that's how master chefs do it. Again, you want to evenly distribute the spices and oil among the beans. As always, make sure your wrists are dextrous! 

* I also decided to add garlic last minute. I sauteed them and then mixed them into the bean mixture. While mixing, I decided to mash it up to get a nice garlic-y flavor for the beans. :P

3) The beans are done for a while. Heat up a wok on a high setting. Then, add about a teaspoon of olive oil into the wok. Grab about 4 cloves of garlic and let them sit in the wok first. Then, add your chicken thighs to the mixture and cook them in the wok for about 25-30 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, add salt and pepper to taste. You want to achieve a nice golden color on the skin of the chicken. A tan chicken is better than a pasty white chicken.

* chickens are in the process of getting "tan." Unfortunately, my fat, wide chicken thighs are hiding my garlic cloves.

4) When the chickens are done cooking, sit them atop the beans! Then, drizzle the chicken juice that's accumulated with the garlic! This will give the entire dish a nice, moist, juicy flavor to it. Juiciness is the essence of happiness.

* this is a portion I gave myself for dinner.

Woohoo! Another dish bites the dust. Stay tuned for most titillating recipes!
