Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add onion, celery, carrot, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes.
  2. Add the chard, chicken, and 1/4 cup water and simmer for about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and brine, increase the heat, and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

    Add the beans with their liquid, parsley, thyme, and oregano and simmer over low heat. Mash one-quarter of the beans with a fork until smooth, and add salt to taste.

  3. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  4. Transfer the vegetables from the skillet to a 1.8-quart baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
