Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

02

Step
11 mins

Sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a wide, heavy, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 1 minute. Add chicken, skin sides down, and cook, turning once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

03

Step
55 mins

Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat. Reduce heat to medium and cook pepper, onion, and garlic, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, thyme, tomato puree, water, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Return chicken to pot, return to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

04

Step
20 mins

Transfer chicken to a bowl and chill, uncovered, until cool enough to handle (20 minutes). Discard skin and bones. Pull meat into coarse shreds.

05

Step
5 mins

Add chicken, beans, and vinegar to tomato mixture in pot and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

06

Step
0 mins

Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Stir pasta into chicken mixture, thinning with pasta water as needed. Season with additional salt, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of leg quarters. Browning the chicken is key to developing a deep, savory flavor.
If you don't have an oven-safe pot, you can transfer the mixture to a baking dish after simmering on the stovetop.
Fresh herbs make a big difference in this recipe! If you don't have fresh oregano, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried oregano.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots to the sauce.
A splash of heavy cream at the end can add a touch of richness and creaminess.

    I used canned diced tomatoes instead of tomato puree, and it worked out great.

    Be sure to reserve enough pasta water! It really helps to create a nice, saucy consistency.

    I added some mushrooms and a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor. Delicious!
