Stir and cook until the chicken pieces brown all over, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, the chicken broth, and the juice of one lemon.Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Add the spinach and the chopped dill. Season with sea salt and pepper and add more lemon juice to taste. Serve the chicken stew in bowls with more lemon wedges around the table and crusty warm bread to dip in the sauce.
