C is for Chicken

It's definitely Chili weather here in Michigan, and we have been enjoying a lot of it.   This version is made with lean white-meat chicken breast and white beans, flavored with green chiles and cumin.  It is scrumptious.

My blogging friends and I get together every other Wednesday to share recipes that start or feature ingredients as we work our way through the alphabet. Let's take a look at the other C recipes being shared today........

I make a lot of soups and stews during the cold winter months, and Chili, of some sort, shows up at least a couple of times a month.  This is one of our favorites.  

I first shared this recipe on my blog in September of 2013.  The recipe program I used at the time is now defunct and no longer printable, so I am resharing it with you today using a more current program.

In 2024, I shared a recipe for Chicken Pastina Soup.  Last year, I shared a recipe for Cider Glazed Chicken Wings  .  Please join us every other week as we make our way through the alphabet.

Past 2026 Challenges

Lean, protein-rich, white-meat chicken breast and white beans, flavored with green chiles and cumin. It is scrumptious.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 30 Min

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Chicken Breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 med. onion, chopped
  • 3 cans chicken broth or 6 cups homemade stock
  • 3 cans white navy beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small can of green chiles
  • 1 t. cumin
  • 1 T. oregano
  • dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 T. oil (I use olive or coconut) in a soup pot. Add chicken, onions, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Add the beans, broth, chilis, cumin, oregano, and hot sauce.
  3. Simmer for 10-15 min. or, if you want to make this ahead of time, place it in a crockpot and cook on low until ready to serve. I like to top mine with shredded Mexican cheese blend and tortilla strips.
