Introduction
Crispy-skinned braised chicken thighs cooked over a bed of spinach and white beans. As moisture evaporates during baking, the protein-rich bean liquid concentrates and undergoes the Maillard reaction, creating deeply flavorful browned bits throughout the stew.
Step 1
Bake the seasoned chicken thighs atop the white beans and spinach in an oven or countertop oven for approximately 45 minutes until cooked through.
Step 2
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven using heat-safe kitchen towels or mitts.
Step 3
Check that the chicken skin is exceptionally crispy and the surface of the bean cooking liquid has concentrated and formed a browned, flavorful crust.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
The protein-rich bean cooking liquid concentrates on the surface as water evaporates, triggering the Maillard reaction similar to a classic cassoulet.
Keep chicken skin exposed above the braising liquid to ensure maximum crispiness.
