Preparation

Step 1

Preheat large pot on medium-high heat; add oil; after 15 seconds or so, add chicken. Cook until no longer pink. Lower heat to medium-low and add onion and peppers; saute until tender; add garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add 3 cans of beans, broth and spices; cook on medium-low for about 30 - 45 minutes. Increase temperature to medium-high and reduce, stirring often. Add last can of beans, stir and cook for 1 - 2 minutes until warm. Adding the one can of beans at the ends prevents them all from breaking open and creaming. Serve plain or over rice or with Soft Gluten Free Naan. Using chicken broth instead of water in the rice provides additional flavor. Top with shredded cheese, chopped yellow onion or sliced green onion, if desired.
