 🤤🔥 Do you go for a little heat with green chilies or jalapeños, or keep it mild and creamy? And are you topping it with anything—maybe some crunchy tortilla strips, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime for a fresh zing? 😍

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts (or 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken)
• 1 small onion, diced

Instructions:

1. Sauté the aromatics – In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
2. Cook the chicken – Add chicken breasts, broth, white beans, green chilies, and all seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
