  6. Place the chicken in the butter, skin side up. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer.
  7. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook at 180°C (360°F) for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Rub the crunchita lettuces with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, season with salt, and grill until nicely charred.
  9. Remove the chicken from the pan and wrap in parchment paper and aluminium foil. Let it rest.
  10. Add the beans to the butter and chicken juices in the pan. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.
