Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Place Chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Shred the chicken and set aside.
Heat Olive Oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add Yellow Onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Pour in Chicken Broth. Add Great Northern Beans, Cannellini Beans, Diced Green Chilies, Cumin, Oregano, Cayenne Pepper, Salt, and Black Pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Add the shredded Chicken to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in Heavy Cream. Heat through, but do not boil.
Serve hot, garnished with Chopped Cilantro, Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, and Lime Wedges.
