For the Base
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cans white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
