To Elaine who couldn't figure out what to do with the 3rd teaspoon of olive oil: it's in Step 2, where it says \"saute onion in remaining oil.\" I can see how you might think that meant the oil remaining from the chicken, but it means add the remaining teaspoon into the pan along with the onions.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-09-01","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedBox"},"reviewBody":"We had Taste Recipes's \u201cCassoulet for Today\u201d recipe last night.

I drizzled it over the bread crumb mixture, but might have been better to just add it into the mixture. I found that the topping pretty much got lost once on the plate.

I love how the instructions are brief, but clear. Followed everything exactly as listed and it was delicious! Keep a close eye on your breadcrumbs when broiling in the last step. Fresh, soft crumbs burn quickly! It was delicious, and I will make this again.\n\nTo Elaine who couldn't figure out what to do with the 3rd teaspoon of olive oil: it's in Step 2, where it says "saute onion in remaining oil." I can see how you might think that meant the oil remaining from the chicken, but it means add the remaining teaspoon into the pan along with the onions.","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"05\/20\/2020 23:30","GUID":"e65a34470df9413bbf82e4f96e301185","MemberId":9820184,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Rachel","SubmittedDate":"05\/20\/2020 23:30"},{"Comment":"Not ever hearing of a Cassoulet before, I'm glad I tried this. Tasted great. Don't have a Dutch oven but, everything fit in my cast iron skillet. Used tin foil for a cover. I knocked a star off because the recipe never said what to do with the last teaspoon of olive oil! I drizzled it over the bread crumb mixture, but might have been better to just add it into the mixture. I found that the topping pretty much got lost once on the plate. Reminds me, I had quite a hunt for the bay leaf. Next time, I'll fish it out before adding the beans, then put it back in somewhere easy to find! :)","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"05\/05\/2020 18:59","GUID":"afdd0502ae8343c9bcca800428e6cded","MemberId":9813783,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Elaine ","SubmittedDate":"05\/05\/2020 18:59"},{"Comment":"

I made this for my family today, and it certainly is a keeper. I am diabetic , so this is a great recipes for me, minus the bread crumbs ( instead I just grated some Parmesan cheese on top).

It's a very satisfying dish...creamy cannellini beans, fork-tender chicken thighs, smoky kielbasa and bacon mixed with tomatoes, onion, garlic and fresh herbs topped with a crunchy garlic infused bread crumbs.
