WHITE BEAN CAPRESE SALAD



White Bean Caprese Salad image

Beloved pantry white beans add substance to this take on caprese salad, which comes together in no time. It's a perfect side for grilled chicken or fish, and can be easily doubled to work as a main course when it's too hot to turn on the oven. If you're so inclined, a handful of spicy arugula, thinly sliced roasted red peppers or ribbons of prosciutto - or all three - would also be nice additions. This dish is easily transportable and tastier when eaten while sitting in a lawn chair.

With the red and green and the white this is almost Christmasy looking. I love this myself and I hope that the Zaar folks will find that this is something they like just as well as I do. It quick and simple to do too.

WHITE BEAN AND ROASTED CHICKEN SALAD

Cannellini beans, or white kidney beans, are smaller than Great Northern beans and add just the right texture. Great for picnics or lazy-day suppers, this salad stirs together in a flash. This a wonderful no cook dinner. Came out of Cooking Light. I always add some extra veggies.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons capers with brine
8 teaspoons Dijon mustard
8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
1 large lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 425°F. Toss beans and capers in a 13x9" baking dish and spread out evenly on bottom of pan. Spread 1 tsp. mustard on skin of each chicken thigh and nestle, skin side up, into beans and capers. Arrange lemon slices under and around chicken and add enough water (about 1/3 cup) to come up sides of chicken by 1/2". Drizzle chicken with oil and season whole dish with salt and pepper.
  • Roast chicken, stirring and shaking dish halfway through, until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, about 35 minutes. If chicken skin starts to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
  • Transfer chicken, beans, lemon slices, and capers to a serving platter. Spoon some of the pan sauce around chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
