2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 can white beans (cannellini or great northern)
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or pepper jack)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, jalapeños, Greek yogurt or sour cream
Prepare the Ingredients: If using raw chicken, poach it in water for about 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. Shred using two forks. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, simply shred it and set aside.
Sauté: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add your seasoning—onion powder and cumin—and cook for a minute until fragrant.
Add the Chicken and Beans: Stir in the shredded chicken, white beans, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
Mix in the Cheese: Reduce heat to low, add in the shredded cheese, and stir until melted and creamy.
Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and any extra spices you desire. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Garnish and Serve: Serve hot with toppings like chopped cilantro, jalapeños, or a dollop of yogurt on top for an extra creamy finish.
