In a large skillet, combine water, beans, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil; boil, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Cover and let soak for 1 hour.
Add chicken broth; cover and cook 1 hour. Meanwhile, fry bacon until crisp.
Remove bacon and reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings.

Sprinkle with cloves; top with chicken. Cover and bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 1 hour.

Discard bay leaf. Garnish with chopped.
