Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, 180°C fan. Heat half the oil in a large, lidded casserole pot and add the chicken thighs, seasoning well with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken on both sides until lightly golden, then remove and put to one side.
  2. Add the remaining oil, then add the onion and cook for 2 mins until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Stir in the tarragon and add the wine. Let it bubble for 2 mins, then add the leeks and cook for 5 mins more.
  3. Return the chicken pieces to the pot, stir in the beans, and pour in the stock. Let it bubble for a few minutes, then put the lid on and put it in the oven for about 1 hour or until chicken is tender. Spoon into 4 bowls, garnish with chopped tarragon and serve with warm, crusty bread.

Tip: Keep the leftover stew in a covered dish in the fridge for up to 3 days to make this chicken and ricotta galette recipe.
