Chicken with White Beans & Pesto
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken thighs
2 red peppers, diced
2 shallots, minced
1 15-ounce can white kidney beans
1/2 cup pesto
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Fry the chicken, skin side down, until the skin is golden and releases easily from the skillet, about 6 minutes. Flip the chicken over and continue to cook until it releases easily from the pan. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Add the peppers and shallot to the pan and cook until they have softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the beans and pesto. Cook until the beans have heated through.
Return the chicken to the skillet and continue to cook, covered, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 5 minutes. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too dry.
Serve the chicken immediately on top of the bean mixture or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

4 cups chopped mushrooms
5 garlic cloves, minced
