This was absolutely delicious, and perfect for a dark, chilly evening. Definitely going into the rotation!

Tried just as published, using the butter beans variant. Very yummy. One caution: if you use skin-on thighs as suggested you will end up with a lot of fat on the surface of the sauce, especially since you have fat from the butter, half and half and cheese as well which all separate while in the oven.
I suppose you could remove the bean and garlic solids from the sauce and either use a fat separator or briefly chill the sauce to allow the fat to congeal and remove the top layer. I ended up just spooning the fat from the surface while still in the pan, and ended up with at least half a cup (!) - obviously not very appealing. I suppose you could use a stick blender to emulsify the remaining sauce as well, since it just looked like a broken mess.
Tasty, but not pretty!
