Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Oil or Butter
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 5 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 cups White Beans cooked (or 1 can White Beans)
  • 3½ - 4 cups Chicken cooked and shredded
  • 1 can Diced Green Chiles
  • 4 cups Water with 3 Tbsp Chicken Drippings or 4 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Corn frozen or canned
  • Juice from Half a Lime
  • Optional Toppings Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Diced Avocado, Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Add onions and saute until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  2. Stir in beans, chicken, green chiles, and water or chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to smash some of the beans to create a thicker sauce.
  3. Add corn and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until corn is cooked through. Add lime juice and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with optional toppings and enjoy!
