Mexican White Chili With Chicken image

This is one of my favorite dishes! the original recipe calls for cooked chicken breasts, but I just purchase a store-bought cooked chicken and take the meat off of it, use as much chicken as desired. You can adjust the chili powder and cumin to taste, and use really whatever beans you desire, I like canellini beans also.
