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.

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.

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
- Heat 1 T. oil (I use olive or coconut) in a soup pot. Add chicken, onions, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Add the beans, broth, chilis, cumin, oregano, and hot sauce.
- 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.
