1 T. olive oil
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in to bite size pieces
1 onion, chopped
8 oz. mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chili peppers
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/8 t. red-pepper flakes
1-1/2 c. chicken broth
2 (15 oz.) cans cannellini, navy, Great Northern or other beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 to 1 t. chopped fresh cilantro
2 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Warm the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and saute for 5 minutes, or until the pieces are browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the onions to the pot and saute for several minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic; cook for several minutes more. Add the chili peppers, cumin, oregano, red-pepper flakes and broth. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken, beans and cilantro; stir gently to mix well. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Taste to adjust the seasonings, adding more red-pepper flakes, if desired. Sprinkle the cheese over each serving.
