The picture may not look appetizing, but this white bean and chicken casserole was absolutely delicious. Easy and simple to make and you can use your left over chicken. It sounds perfect to me 🙂
This dish is very versatile, you almost can’t go wrong with any variety of ingredients. Try using pulled pork or roasted tofu in place of the chicken and red or black beans instead of white beans.
Have a nice weekend and buen provecho!

Such a delicious casserole with these plantains and that cumin-flavored cream; we use cumin a lot in lebanese cooking especially with chicken.

That’s very interesting combination, I would love that, with the plantains and white beans. It looks delicious Erica. 🙂

I wish I could find plantains here in Australia… there’s really no good substitute for them. If I ever track them down, I’m going to make this!
