This recipe for Chicken with Prosciutto, Rosemary & White Beans in a white wine sauce is deliciously flavorful and the best part is you can make it all in one pan on top of the stove.
I recently saw a recipe in the Cooking Light magazine for chicken with beans and decided to experiment with my own version. I came up with this Skillet Chicken with Prosciutto, Rosemary & White Beans.
I've seen so many recipes in magazines and on Pinterest lately for one-pan meals. In fact I even started my own board called One Pot Meals for it. I love the idea of dirtying as little dishes as possible because I HATE doing the dishes. Strike that.
I don't hate washing the dishes, I despise drying and putting away the dishes. Washing isn't so bad. And when I get on a roll in the kitchen and I'm making three or four recipes at the same time, the sink piles up so high that I have to wash and dry in between which really slows me down.
My husband always yells at me too because I get water EVERYWHERE. He'll say "You've been out of a commercial kitchen for over 15 years and you STILL get water everywhere.
No one is walking behind you mopping up the floors and taking your dirty pots anymore." Oh well, I digress. What do you mean you can't just shake your hands to dry them off? š
Anyway, back to this chicken dish. I made this recipe several weeks ago and was going to wait to share it with you until the Fall; however, I said to myself 'Why not now?'.
Most people don't like to turn the oven on during the hot Summer months anyway. Only us crazy food bloggers who prepare recipes for September in July.
How do you make chicken with prosciutto and white beans?
For this recipe you'll need bone-in chicken thighs (or legs), prosciutto, fresh rosemary, garlic, white wine, EVOO and Cannellini beans. See, flavorful meals don't need to have a lot of ingredients! First start out by adding the oil to a large frying pan; then brown the chicken.
You may have to do this in two phases depending on the size of your pan. Remove the chicken once browned on both sides and keep covered with foil.
Next, add chopped prosciutto and garlic and sautƩ for 1 minute until the prosciutto starts to get crispy; then stir in the white wine, rosemary and beans.
Place the chicken back into the pan, nestling it on top of the beans; then cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Simmer 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
My family and I really loved this recipe for Chicken with Prosciutto, Rosemary & White Beans. The flavor combination was incredible; though I'm not surprised because rosemary is my all-time favorite herb to cook with.
This recipe makes enough to feed 4-6 people and you can serve it with rice and a tossed salad. ~Enjoy!

This sounds fabulous! I'm wondering what you think of using chicken breast instead of thighs/legs. I don't really care for dark meat and never have it in my freezer.
Carrie's Experimental Kitchen says
I'm sure you could use boneless chicken breasts, but you will have to adjust the cooking time so that you don't dry out the chicken. Enjoy!

Can you do this ahead (a day in advance and will it reheat ok?0
Carrie's Experimental Kitchen says
I've never tried, but it should be fine. When you reheat I would put the whole pan in the oven (as long as it's in an oven safe pan) and cover with foil. You may want to add a bit of chicken broth as well to create a bit of steam which will help to reheat more evenly.
