Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped, divided
1 medium poblano pepper, chopped, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa verde, divided
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
2 teaspoons chile-lime seasoning, divided
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup frozen corn
⅓ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 of the onion and 1/2 of the poblano pepper; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with water.
  • Add chicken, 1/4 jar of salsa verde, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon chile-lime seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken and shred. Add back to the pot with remaining onion, poblano pepper, salsa verde, cumin, and chile-lime seasoning. Add cannellini beans, green chiles, and cilantro. Simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add frozen corn and sour cream; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
