Dr. Oz's Mediterranean Chicken and Herbed White Beans

Chicken Ingredients:

2 bone-in chicken thighs
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
8 pitted kalamata olives
1 TBL olive oil
1 tsp wine vinegar or balsamic
1 small bunch fresh basil, chopped


Bean Ingredients:

1 TBL olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (15 ounces) white beans, rinsed and drained
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mixed herbs (I use dried Italian seasoning)
1 tsp red wine vinegar or balsamic
salt and freshly ground black pepper


To make the chicken, heat over to 375 degrees. Place each chicken thigh on a large square of aluminum foil. Combine remaining chicken ingredients; spoon over chicken. Fold foil up and over chicken, sealing edges and forming a packet. Bake 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, to prepare the beans, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat (DO NOT COOK ARM). Add garlic, cook 2 minutes. Add remaining bean ingredients; cook 5 mnutes.

Carefully open packets and transfer mixture to plates alongside beans.
