Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Add the shredded chicken and cannellini beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil.
Ladle into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a creamier stew, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of mascarpone cheese just before serving. If you have picky eaters, consider blending some of the vegetables into the broth for a smoother texture. You can also swap out the cannellini beans for chickpeas or add more vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra heartiness. For a gluten-free option, ensure your chicken broth is gluten-free and serve with gluten-free bread.
