And considering the whole things comes together in less than an hour, it's a total weeknight dinner winner.

INGREDIENTS :
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 (4.5 oz.) cans green chilies
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds
5 c. low-sodium chicken broth

Freshly ground black pepper
2 (15 oz.) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 c. frozen corn
1/2 c. sour cream
Freshly chopped cilantro, for garnish
1/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack
1/4 c. crushed tortilla chips
DIRECTIONS :
1. In a large pot, over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and jalapeño and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add green chilis, chicken, and broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 to 12 minutes, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
2. Transfer chicken to a plate and shred with two forks. Return to pot and add white beans and corn. Bring to a simmer and let cook, 10 minutes, using a wooden spoon to mash about 1/4 of the beans. Turn off heat and stir in sour cream.
