When lacquered with a rich, complex sauce and roasted, chicken becomes a delicious crowd-pleaser. There's enough chipotle here to make your lips hum, but not so much as to overshadow the balancing act...
If you can't find corona or gigante beans for this stew, use smaller white ones like cannellini. Keep in mind that they'll cook a lot faster, so give the ham a 30-minute head start.
