How to Make Ultra Quick Chicken Chile And White Bean Stew

  1. Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can of white beans.
  2. In a medium saucepan, poach 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 2 cups of chicken stock until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes). Remove chicken, let cool slightly, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the drained and rinsed white beans, cubed chicken, 1 cup of the chicken stock reserved from poaching the chicken, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
  7. Top each serving with 1-2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper and a dollop of sour cream (about 1 tablespoon per serving).
