Hearty Chicken Sausage & White Bean Stew

Add the white beans, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika (if using) to the pot. Stir to combine.

4. Add Greens (Optional)

• If using, stir in the spinach or kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the greens are wilted and tender.

5. Season and Serve

• Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley (if desired), and serve hot with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• With bread: Serve with a thick slice of garlic bread or a crusty baguette to soak up the flavorful broth.
• Side salad: Pair with a fresh mixed greens salad with lemon vinaigrette for a balanced meal.
• Meal prep: This stew stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days, making it a perfect option for meal prep. Reheat with a splash of broth to keep it nice and saucy.

💡 Variations & Tips

• Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
• More veggies: Feel free to add in any extra veggies you like, such as zucchini, potatoes, or bell peppers.
• Use different sausage: If you prefer a different type of sausage, such as turkey or pork sausage, that will work too—just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
