  5. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to keep warm.

  7. Add minced celery, garlic, and shallots; sauté until limp and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in diced tomatoes and rosemary; simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
  9. Dissolve cornstarch in chicken broth in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Pour broth mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil, cooking until the sauce thickens.
  11. Return chicken to the skillet along with the drained cannellini beans; heat through gently.
