How to Make

  • Step 1: In a medium pot heat oil over medium-high heat (use enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet).

  • Step 2: Add in the chicken; lightly brown on all sides; remove to a plate.

  • Step 3: Add in onion and jalapeno; cook for about 3 minutes or until just softened, then add in garlic, chili flakes and cumin and cook stirring for 2 minutes.

  • Step 4: Add the beans, broth, green chilies and whipping cream; bring to a boil stirring constantly.

  • Step 5: Add the browned chicken back to the pot; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper about halfway through.

  • Step 6: Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream until blended (start with 2 tablespoons and add in more until you have reached desired amount).

  • Step 7: Ladle into bowls.
