Cover reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes stirring once or twice. Stir in the thyme basil and wine. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until the wine has been reduced by half. In the meantime coat the chicken thoroughly with the barbecue sauce and bake for 10 minutes on the top shelf of the oven. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool just long enough to handle. Cut the chicken into small cubes. Add the chicken chicken stock and beans to the stockpot.
