Method

To prepare the marinade, in the bowl of a small food processor, place 1/4 cup of the oil, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper.


Blend all ingredients well until a smooth bright green paste is formed.


You may add a few spoonfuls of water to help this process if mixture looks too thick.


Transfer to a shallow dish or resealable bag and add chicken.


Toss to coat, then refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.


Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over moderate heat.


Add onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes.


Add chicken, and allow to brown lightly without stirring initially.


Begin turning chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and brown all over, about 8 minutes.


Add beans and continue to cook until a light sauce forms around chicken pieces, about 2 minutes.
