- 1 medium onion, cut in 8 wedges (about 1 cup/250 mL)
- 3 medium carrots, quartered lengthwise and cut into thirds (about 1cup/250 mL)
- 1 medium celery stalk, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces (about 1/4 cup/60 mL)

Instructions
- 1. In Dutch oven, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook about 3 minutes per side or until it begins to brown. (Center will still be slightly pink.) Remove from oven and set aside.
- 2. Add remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil, onion, carrot and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes or until just beginning to lightly brown on edges, stirring frequently. Add water, bay leaves and pepper flakes. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- 3. Stir in chicken, beans, tomatoes, Italian parsley and rosemary. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until tomatoes are tender and chicken is cooked.
- *Tip: Let stew stand 30 minutes to develop flavors and texture. It's even better the next day!
