This recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes! It uses both chicken and navy beans for protein; that’s the reason for the smaller chicken portions (only 3 ounces per serving). Because of it’s wonderful flavor, you might even catch your family licking their bowls for the last drops of its delicious broth.
