We've taken cassoulet—a slow-cooked French bean casserole—and made it weeknight ready! Tender chicken breast is sautéed in bacon fat with herbes de Provence, then braised with cannellini beans in a garlic-and-mustard-infused broth. Once thickened, you'll add bacon, bake to crisp up the panko topping, and serve with a lemony arugula salad and toasty baguette for dipping.

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Drain and rinse beans. Quarter lemon.

• Cut bacon* crosswise into ½-inch pieces. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 3-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon fat in pan.

• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; cut into 1-inch pieces. • Heat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium heat (if pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil). Add chicken, onion, 1 tsp herbes de Provence (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure the herbes de Provence—we sent more!) Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown, 3-4 minutes. • Add tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and darkened, 30-60 seconds. Add beans, garlic powder, mustard, stock concentrates, 1 ½ cups water, and ½ tsp sugar (3 cups water and 1 tsp sugar for 4). Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4-5 minutes.

• While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine panko, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Once chicken mixture has thickened, stir in bacon; remove from heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Transfer chicken mixture to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (9-by-13-inch baking dish for 4) and top with panko mixture. Bake on top rack until panko is golden brown, 5-10 minutes.

• Meanwhile, halve baguette lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil. • Toast until golden brown; halve on a diagonal.

• In a large bowl, combine 2 TBSP olive oil (4 TBSP for 4 servings), juice from half the lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grate half the Parmesan directly into bowl; whisk to combine. Add arugula; toss to combine. Grate remaining Parmesan directly on top. • Serve cassoulet family style with toasted baguette and salad. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

This was pretty good. I used a bit more of the herb de Provence and added some kielbasa sausages to the dish. The chicken was a bit dry (dark chicken meat would work better in place of duck) and it lacked an overall richness and complexity of flavor. However, I would recommend trying it and would get again.
Easy to make - loved the flavors. It was more of a soup/stew so I made rice to go with it and was a perfect meal.
Dressing was fantastic for the arugula salad, so simple but very good. Flavor of the cassoulet was delicious.
Delicious. Love that it comes with a side salad and toast. Flavorful and satisfying. Hubby had seconds!
This dish was perfect for the cold weather! Very comforting and everything just comes together perfectly. My kids even liked it!
This was good but super heavy and stretched much further than the other ingredients. I'm not sure what I would do differently, it's tasty. The bacon really lightens the overall flavor
Very good. Added more beans and meat to have more leftovers.
Wow this was outstanding. Please keep this in the rotation.
Hearty meal, but it was not as flavorful as I anticipated
The recipe for 4 is a bit off. Definitely don't use 3 cups of liquid - it should be significantly less.
