Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts (or chicken tenderloins, cut into cubes)
  • 1 large jalapeño pepper (seeded, finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 (16-ounce) cans white beans (drained and rinsed)
