Ingredients

1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 large shallot, halved and thinly sliced
½ cup pitted Castelvetrano olives, torn in half
3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
1 tablespoon harissa paste
1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeds removed
4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup SideDish Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Method

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a 3.5-quart braiser or baking dish, combine the cannellini beans, garbanzo beans, shallot, olives, 2 tablespoons avocado oil, and harissa paste. Toss until the beans are evenly coated.
Nestle the lemon slices throughout the mixture, then place the chicken thighs on top, skin side up.
Drizzle the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil, then season all over with salt and pepper. Tuck the rosemary sprig into the dish.
Roast, uncovered, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 35–40 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the SideDish Apple Cider Vinaigrette over the beans and chicken. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
To serve, spoon the beans, olives, and lemon slices onto plates and top with the crispy chicken thighs. Be sure to drizzle any pan juices over the top!
