Cheater cassoulet

Cook a little bacon in an oven-safe pan.

When the bacon is about halfway cooked, add onion and carrot and cook about five minutes until they start to soften.

Add about half a pound of cooked linguiça and cook a couple of minutes until it browns a little.

Add garlic with a tiny splash of oil and mix until fragrant.

Add diced cooked chicken thighs, a can of diced tomatoes with their liquid, two cans of drained cannellini beans, about half a cup of white wine or vermouth, about a cup of chicken stock and thyme twigs; season with salt and pepper and mix.

Bring to a simmer and cook about five minutes.

Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and add them to the pan.

Bake until the breadcrumbs brown a bit; remove the thyme twigs and serve in bowls.
