Ingredients
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 5 jalapeños, ribs and seeds removed
  • ½ large red onion

  • 2 limes
Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring the chicken broth and water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add the raw chicken breasts; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until no longer pink in the center; remove the cooked chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the jalapeno and onion until minced; add to the pot, along with the cans of beans and salsa. Stir and simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat.
  3. Meanwhile, shred using 2 forks or dice the chicken breasts.

  5. Serve hot with fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, and lime wedges, if desired.
