Ingredients
-

-
1 1/2 ounces Fond de Poulet Gold® dissolved in 6 cups hot water
-
Additional water, as needed
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 medium onions, diced, divided
-
1 tablespoon canola oil
-
2 cans (4 ounces each) diced green chiles
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

Methods/Steps
Combine the beans, diluted Fond de Poulet Gold®, garlic, and half the diced onion in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the beans are very soft, 3 hours or more. Add more water, if necessary, to make sure the beans are covered with liquid as they cook.
When the beans are almost done cooking, sauté the remaining onion in a small skillet with the oil until tender. Add the chiles and seasonings and mix thoroughly; add this mixture to the beans when they are done cooking.
Stir in the chicken and continue to simmer very gently for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the chili topped with grated pepper jack cheese.
