One-Pot Chicken With Greens and Beans

One-Pot Chicken With Greens and Beans
Armando Rafael for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Cyd Raftus McDowell.

Recipe by Cybelle Tondu | Total time: 35 minutes

This surprisingly quick one-pot chicken braise leans on the tartness of lime juice to brighten shredded chicken thighs, well-cooked Swiss chard, white beans and parsley. While the chicken browns deeply on one side, the chopped greens, onion and beans are piled into the pot and wilt, absorbing the rising heat and bubbling fat. Everything gets stirred together with a generous squeeze of lime juice and simmers until the chicken shreds easily. With minimal prep and cleanup, this recipe is also versatile: The chard and parsley can easily be substituted with other vegetables and herbs, like spinach and dill.
