Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 4 boneless chicken thighs cut into small chunks (this is easy to do when the chicken is still slightly frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 4 cups chicken broth I used homemade
  • 4 oz can mild green chilies
  • 1 can 15oz great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • ⅓ cup 40g oat flour (for thickening - Another flour may work or even just a bit of corn starch)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the chicken and spices. Cook until no more pink is seen on the chicken. The bottom of the pot may stick a little. That's OK, we deglaze with the broth.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 sweet onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 4 boneless chicken thighs, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • Add the broth and scrape all those tasty bits up from the bottom. Bring everything to a soft boil and add the green chilies and beans.

  • I like a thicker sauce so I decided to mix in a little oat flour. Whisk the oat flour with a bit of water and add the paste to the pot so it dissolves evenly. Continue to lightly boil for 10 minutes or so and then lower to a simmer until you are ready to eat. Mine simmered only about 20 minutes and it was yummy!

  • I added sliced avocado to mine and it was a great addition! But I didn't even try to go there with Ryan. Baby steps, right?
