Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Add cooking spray to a large sauté pan over high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Turn heat down to medium. Add kielbasa and sauté 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add the onion, garlic and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, then add tomato paste, thyme and chicken broth. Scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then add the chicken and sausage back to the pan with any accumulated juices. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Add the beans. Turn heat to high. Simmer for 5 more minutes until liquid is slightly reduced. Remove thyme stems.
  5. To serve, place a chicken thigh in the bottom of bowl, and pour 1/2 cup of the stew over it.
