Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 15 oz cans canned white beans
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves

How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium and cook the onion until soft, about 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic, cumin, and oregano until fragrant.
- Add the chicken thighs, green chiles, and broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until the chicken is tender, about 18 minutes.
- Lift out the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.
