3. While beans are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add pancetta; cook and stir until it begins to brown, 2-3 minutes. Add chicken; stir until cooked. Stir in onions and celery; cook until onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
