Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
  • 2 cans (15 oz) cannellini beans, drained
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium and cook the onion 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chiles, cumin and oregano for 1 minute.
  2. Add the broth and chicken and simmer 20 minutes. Remove and shred the chicken.
  3. Mash one can of beans with a fork and add both cans to the pot with the cream cheese and corn. Stir until the cream cheese melts.
