Total Time: 2 hrs 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 6 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 (15 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
• 2 lbs chicken breasts, cubbed bite sized
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• fresh cilantro (optional)
• shredded mexican blend cheese (optional)
• sour cream (optional)

Recipe

• 1 use a little oil to saute onion and garlic in a stock pot.
• 2 add oregano and cumin to the onions/garlic and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.
• 3 add beans, broth, and seasoned salt. bring to a decent boil and let cook about 2 hours.
• 4 through in the chopped chicken (raw) to the boiling beans and continue to cook at least 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. i normally let this cook even longer, about an hour with the chicken because it breaks down a little bit more. but it's really not needed and a lot of people prefer the chicken in larger pieces.
• 5 garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream and cilantro. serve with your favorite chips if you'd like.
