Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
  • 2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken chunks, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the oregano and cumin; stir well to coat the chicken and onions with spices.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the cannellini beans and diced green chiles.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
  6. Uncover and simmer an additional 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
