Directions

  1. Remove and discard excess fat from chicken; rinse thighs and pat dry.

  6. Add onion and carrots to pan; stir often until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add broth, thyme, bay leaf, beans, chicken, and sausages; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center of thickest part (cut to test), 5 to 7 minutes.

  9. Add salt to taste.
