2/3 cup dry white wine or 2/3 cup chicken broth

Directions

1

Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan which can be used under the grill/broiler.

Cook the chicken until golden. Remove and keep hot. Add the onion and peppers to the pan and saute gently until softened. Stir in the garlic. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes, wine or chicken broth and oregano, and salt and pepper.

When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, stir in the cannellini beans. Cover the pan again and raise the heat slightly. Leave to simmer for about 5 minutes more, stirring once or twice, until the beans are hot. Preheat Broiler.
