Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 (48 ounce) jar great northern beans, drained
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (3 ounce) can chopped green chilies
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F; place chicken breasts on greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Alternatively, saute chicken breasts on stovetop in a nonstick frying pan until almost cooked through; remove from heat and set aside. In a large pot, pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and add onion and garlic; bring to a simmer and cook until onion starts to soften. Add the chilies, stir, then add remaining broth and beans. Stir in the spices. Bring to a boil and add chicken pieces, cut into cubes. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes-- longer is better. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
