Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Low-carb white beans or substitute (like black soybeans)

  • Add chicken, low-carb beans, green chilies, chicken broth, and spices (cumin, oregano, chili powder, ground coriander) to the pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
