  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
  • juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil: In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onion until softened. Add garlic and cook briefly.
  2. Cook chicken: Add chicken, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brown chicken.
