Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) great northern or cannellini beans, rinsed
  • 4–5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 poblano peppers, diced (or jalapeños for extra heat)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  4. Pour in the chicken broth and rinsed beans. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the cooked chicken, shred it using two forks, then return it to the pot.
  7. Squeeze fresh lime juice into each serving bowl and garnish with cilantro and sour cream if desired.
