Chicken Sausage and White Bean Stew

Chicken sausage combined with fire roasted diced tomatoes, white beans and Italian seasonings makes a deliciously healthy and hearty stew.

I first made this recipe for Italian Chicken Sausage and White Bean Stew back in 2012, but it's been on my list for an upgrade for years.

When I first prepared the recipe it looked more like a chili as I removed the sausage casings and broke up the meat. Though the taste was good, the photo, not so much. 

With my husband and I trying to lose weight on the Noom diet for the last few months, I wanted to try to remake this recipe a little healthier too! 

By baking and slicing the sausage prior to adding it to the stew, it really held up well and the flavor was incredible! 

This recipe serves 4 people, is gluten free and is under 325 calories per serving.

Suggested Equipment

  • Sheet Pan

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients Needed

For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients:

Chicken Sausage: To make this recipe a little healthier, I opted for chicken sausage since pork sausage has double the amount of calories and grams of fat per link. You'll need approximately 1-pound or 5 links for this recipe. 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Minced Garlic

Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes: I love Hunts Fire Roasted Tomatoes and you can even get them with added garlic. It's one of those items I always keep stocked in my pantry. They taste great in so many recipes!

Tomato Paste: Again, I love Hunts products and you only need a small amount. Any leftover tomato paste you can use in homemade bbq sauces or chili!

Dried Italian Seasoning: If you don't have this combination seasoning, no problem! Just combine equal parts of dried basil, oregano and parsley for a quick fix. 

Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese

Cannellini Beans: Personally, I used organic, lower sodium canned beans for the simplicity and ease of adding them to my recipes. Before I add them to any recipe though, I rinse them thoroughly under cold water until it runs clear. 

Chicken Broth: Low sodium or bone broth is my choice, but you can use any kind you prefer. 

Cooking Spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray, add the sausage links; then bake for 20 minutes.

Remove the sausage from the oven; then slice into ½-inch thick discs. 

While the sausage is baking, add the oil to a large Dutch oven or pot and heat over medium high heat.

Add the garlic and saute 1 minute; then add the fire roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, cheese and chicken broth. 

Reduce the heat to low; then add the sliced sausage when done along with the beans. Mix well; then allow to simmer for 30 minutes. 

Slow Cooker Directions

You can also cook this chicken sausage stew in the slow cooker. Prepare the sausage as directed; then add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 2-4 hours or warm for 6-8 hours.
