Talk about a really quick meal. With prep to table this took me less than 20 minutes.

Isla has been cutting back on her afternoon naps so I knew I had minimal time to prep for dinner. Also, can I just mention quick, that this chicken sausage costs me $2.19, beans costs $0.99, tomatoes $2.29 and I already had the spices and broth on hand. This makes 4 servings. So I had a meal for my family for less than $6.00 🙂 I also prepared Brussels sprouts & a salad. You can really prep it with what ever your favorite sides are when making a stew. I know my mom always served warm bread and my husbands would love corn bread with anything!

So let’s show you how it’s done and you can get to it 🙂

Here is what you need:

1. Chicken Sausage
2. 30 oz of white beans { 2 cans if using canned beans }
3. 5-7 cloves garlic chopped {depending on your garlic preference}
4. salt, pepper, Italian seasonings
5. Tomato (2 cups chopped)
6. 2 cups chicken broth
7. {optional: ADD KALE & ONION } I did not have any but I 100% will add next time!

Here is what you do:

1. Bring chicken broth & chopped garlic to a low simmer in a large skillet.
2. Rinse beans. Then, add beans + cut up tomatoes + spices  to the skillet and bring to a summer again.
3. Let sit while you cook your sausage {covered/ see photo below}.
4. Cut your sausage up and cook in another skillet until done { I used a cast iron skillet but it is not required}
5. Add sausage to beans & broth and let simmer several minutes {at this point you would add Kale and let simmer until Kale is tender}
6. Serve with veggies | or salad | and bread or what ever you prefer 🙂

Clean up is really easy. I typically clean as I cook but after you should only have a couple pots, cutting board, and the bowls you used.  I hope you enjoy your yummy & savory Chicken and Bean Stew 🙂
