Number Of Ingredients 18

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch dice
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chili powder, blend
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups chicken stock
3 (15 ounce) cans navy beans, drained
tortilla chips, for serving
sour cream, for serving
shredded monterey jack cheese, for serving
cilantro, for serving
diced avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large cast-iron casserole, heat the oil until shimmering. Add half of the chicken at a time and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned all over, about 8 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the onion to the casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook until fragrant. Add the flour, chile powder, cumin, oregano and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant.
  • Add the stock, navy beans and chicken and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat until the chicken is very tender, 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and simmer the soup over moderate heat until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper and serve with any of the extras that you like.
