Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds chicken breast cut into 1" chunks
  • 12 oz chicken stock
  • 12 oz pinto beans drained, canned
  • 2 pounds tomatillos hulled, rinsed, and chopped into quarters
  • 5 oz green chiles canned
  • 12 oz ro-tel green chile can
  • 12 oz diced tomatoes can
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3 jalapeño sliced
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Dice onion, tomatillos, and chicken.
  2. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil until shimmery, then add chicken.
  3. Brown 3-4 minutes, occasionally stirring, to prevent burning or sticking.
  4. When chicken has browned lightly on all sides, stir in onions and tomatillos and brown another 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and oregano. Mix well.
  6. Slowly stir in stock, ro-tel, and drained pinto beans. Stir well and bring to a rapid boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, and let reduce slightly, about 8 minutes.
  8. Taste soup to see if more salt, pepper, or cayenne are needed.
  9. Serve in bowls with fresh sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, and optional - sour cream or shredded cheese.
