Ingredients:

  1. 4 - whole chicken legs (10 to 12 oz. each)
  2. 1 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing
  3. - kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 1/2 pounds - sweet Italian sausage casings removed
  5. 1 - medium onion finely chopped
  6. 1 - medium fennel bulb halved, cored, cut into 1/2
  7. 1 - carrot cut into 1/2
  8. 4 cloves - garlic minced
  9. 2 teaspoons - minced rosemary
  10. 2 teaspoons - minced thyme
  11. 2 teaspoons - ground fennel
  12. 2 1/2 cups - chicken stock or low-sodium broth
  13. 1 cans - 15 oz. cannellini beans rinsed, drained
  14. 1/2 cups - Panko
  15. 1/3 cups - freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450° F. On a rimmed baking sheet, brush chicken legs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes until browned and cooked through. Leave the oven on.

Meanwhile, in a large deep ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sausage and cook over moderately high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until nearly cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the onion, fennel and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.

Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and ground fennel and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the stock and beans and bring to a boil.

Nestle the chicken legs in the stew and sprinkle the panko and cheese evenly on top. Bake the cassoulet in the upper third of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling and topping is crisp.

Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Can be refrigerated up to 2 days.
