Method

  1. Cut the chicken into large chunks, dry them, and brown them in the oil over high heat for 4 minutes without stirring. Lift them out.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, soften the garlic with the chili flakes for 30 seconds, add the sun-dried tomatoes and broth, and scrape the pan clean as it bubbles.
  3. Return the chicken and beans for 5 minutes, until the chicken reads 165°F (74°C), then wilt in the spinach. Off the heat, once the bubbling stops, beat in the yogurt and Parmesan until creamy. Basil at the end.
Chef’s tipOff the heat for the yogurt. This is the dish everyone makes with cream. Yogurt does it for a fifth of the fat and three times the protein, and only splits if the pan is still on.
