Chicken and cannellini beans casserole
Ceci
February 4, 2021
You can prepare this casserole with the proteins and legumes that you have at home. You can also use other veggies. But what you shouldn’t avoid is to add a sautéed of garlic, onion and red pepper. It will give it an aromatic and tasteful base to the casserole.
In this case I used chicken and cannellini beans. I roasted a whole chicken and I reserved a tender and juicy breast. Following with the “trash cooking” (rest of edible food turning into a new dish), I prepared a litre of chicken stock with the carcass and some chunks of veggies. You can freeze and use it for any dish, as I did with this recipe.
