Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini (white kidney) beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 pinches cayenne pepper, or to taste

  2. Cook chicken, onion, and garlic in hot oil until the chicken is browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
