Ingredients

1 lb Great Northern White Beans
2 tbs Butter
1 Onion diced
1 Clove of Garlic minced
4 oz Can of Diced Green Chiles
1 tbs Ground Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Ground White Pepper
1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
8-10 c Water
2.5 lb Chicken mix of white and dark meat

Instructions

First, add the butter to a soup pot or stock pot and heat over medium.
Next, add the diced onions, minced garlic and green chiles and sauté until the onions begin to soften.
Next, add the white beans (that have been soaked overnight) and stir to incorporate.
Season by adding the cumin, chili powder, white pepper and salt.
Add the water and give everything a stir. I used two cups of chicken stock to add a little more richness of flavor. It's fine to use all water if you prefer. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cubes dark meat to the pot. Add the breast pieces whole and cook until they are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the breast pieces and shred the meat with forks. Add the shredded chicken meat back to the pot.
Simmer, covered, for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Serve with your favorite toppings for chili such as sour cream, shredded cheese, slice jalapenos or chopped green onion.

Notes

You'll want to use a mix of dark and white meat chicken. I used some boneless and skinless chicken thighs and two boneless and skinless breast pieces.

Feel free to use a whole chicken if you like. If you use a whole chicken it will need to be cooked and the meat removed from the bones. I removed the excess fat from the thigh pieces and cut into cubes.

I cooked the breast pieces whole to shred. By shredding the breast meat it helps to infuse it with the broth and keep it moist. Otherwise, the white meat can be dry and flavorless.
