Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cans white beans (15 oz each, such as Great Northern or Cannellini), drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 each green bell pepper, diced

Instructions
- Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeño if using. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
