"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
I usually cook Italian sausage separately. Then, before I put the feta cheese on top of the beans, I arrange the sausage on top of the beans. I then top it all with the feta and place in oven. This makes it a main course dish. I'm sure you could experiment with chicken too- but we want to keep fat content up.
