Instructions

Heat the canola oil in a large dutch oven on medium heat.
Cook the chicken and onions in the pot, stirring regularly, until the chicken is browned on both sides through, about 5 minutes then remove from the pot onto a plate.
Add the tomatillos, green chiles and cook on high heat to char the tomatillos a bit in the oil.
Add the chicken and onions back into the pot with the garlic, chicken broth, white beans, cumin, salt, pepper and oregano and mix well (this will break apart the tomatillos even more).
Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a medium low and cook for 25 minutes until the soup has thickened and most of the tomatillos have broken down.
