Fast Chicken Chili

As much as I would love to take credit for this recipe, I found it in a Cooking Light magazine, Sept. 2012 issue.

1 T canola oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut in bite size peices
3/4 tsp salt divided
1/2 c vertically sliced onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flake
3 c canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 c water
2 cans chopped green chilis
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
1/4 fresh cilantro
1 lime cut into wedges

heat dutch oven over medium heat.  add oil.  sprinkle chicken with 1/4 tsp salt.  add chicken, saute 4 minutes. add onion, garlic, and spices. saute another 3 minutes.  add 2 c of beans, water, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 can of chilis, and broth.  Bring to boil.  mash 1 c beans and 1 can chilis together in a bowl, add to soup.  Simmer 5 minutes.  Serve with cilantro and lime.

My family ate this up!  I added extra beans to make it stretch a little further (a family of 7 eats a lot) there was one small bowlful left over.  Everyone had 2nds.  This is a definite make again.
