2 x 400gm can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen peas

Method
Spray a large pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Dry fry the onion and garlic until they start to soften and brown.
Add the chicken chunks and brown all over.

Pour in the chicken stock and the wine.
Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat.
Allow to simmer for 20 minutes, covered.

Mix the corn flour to a smooth paste with a little water.

The beans supply plenty of starch in this dish so there is no need for potatoes, rice or bread.
