A simple One Pot Chicken with Kielbasa and Beans recipe, featuring Bush’s Great Northern Beans. Plus, my family friendly menu plan for the week!
Last week was Dine & Dish’s 8 year anniversary! I can’t believe I totally forgot to do something to celebrate with you all. How about if after the holidays we have a prize packed celebration? We can throw a little fun and excitement into the doldrums of January instead of having all the fun be this time of year. Does that sound good?
Whether you’ve been a reader since the awful pink and brown polka dot early stages of Dine & Dish (we’ve come a long way, baby) or if you are a brand new reader of Dine & Dish, thank you so much for being here. Your presence, support and love means the world to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
One client who has been with me since the early days is Bush’s Beans. I’m so lucky to work with a brand who has values that match mine, has a product we love and use several times a week, and who supports me in my endeavors. I love the challenge of adding more beans to my recipes… since my family loves them and they are so nutrient rich, I try to incorporate them into as many recipes as I can!
This One Pot Chicken with Kielbasa and Beans recipe is one of those that is pure comfort. Like many one pot type meals, it’s perfect for a cold winter day. This One Pot Chicken with Kielbasa and Beans recipe is one I used to make without beans, and then once I added Bush’s Great Northern Beans to it, I never went back. They are the absolute perfect, protein packed addition to this recipe!
See this must make recipe below my menu plan for the week. Enjoy!

It really is one of those meals that just warms you from the inside out!
I just love everything about this.
Mwah! Thank you, Amy! It has quite a few of my favorite things in it!
I love that you used Great Northern Beans. I feel they are one of the most under-rated, under-used beans. We grew up eating them almost every week and they always remind me of my mom to this day. 🙂 This looks awesome!
I use Great Northern Beans all the time… next to black beans they are my absolute favorite beans and are always in stock in my pantry!
This looks like my husbands dream dinner! Which mean, if I make it, maybe I can con him into doing the dishes as a thank you.
Clearly, I’m making it. Love that you added Keilbasa! Pinned!
I love quick and easy meals! This looks incredible!
I’ve had that exact same carton of farro in my cabinet for forever and for some reason I’ve never used it. I might have to take my inspiration form you and make this! I LOVE that it only uses one pot!
Our menu for this week needs this! I love one pot dinners!
This seriously looks absolutely amazing. I’m always down for a one-pot meal and beans are the perfect way to bulk it up and keep it comforting in the winter.
Sounds so good. I love it. Thank you, Kristen.
8 year is amazing!! Congratulations!
I love a one pot meal, they are perfect for busy weeknights. This is so full with goodness, I am sure the whole family will love it.
This is one of those dinners I know everyone at my house will eat, like ask for seconds eat. Looks delicious!!
Back away from the chicken and sausage if you want to live

We Love love love kielbasa in our home, I Just know this would be a hit with the whole family. Congrats on 8 years, lady!
How many servings does this recipe make?
Hi Vanessa –
It easily served our family of 6 (but we split the chicken up for the kids). If everyone wants their own chicken breast, 4, but they are hearty servings that way!
This has become one of my and my husband’s favorite meals. I usually throw some leftover veggies in to round it out. It makes incredible leftovers for lunch, too! Thank you so much for this incredible recipe!
Tried this last night and the whole family liked it, would make again! My chicken may have been thinner because it cooked much faster than in the directions.
I found this on a Buzzfeed article. My husband and I have been making this for months now. I love it! Since there’s only two of us, we freeze half the yield. It freezes and reheats amazingly. I take leftovers for lunch for a few days and it’s one of the only leftover meals I actually enjoy taking to work! My husband has made a few times with a Cajun kick, adding Cajun spices and okra instead of the beans. Also delicious. I like to add some red chile powder to it on occasion. We’ve added spinach as well. It’s such a versatile recipe and a great canvas to a ton of flavors. Definitely one of our favorite meals. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!!
Yum! Made this tonight served over rice! Everyone loved it! My friend asked me for the recipe too! Next time I’m gonna be more adventurous and add some different veggies as well! So good!
