Shopping List
- 1/2 plain rotisserie chicken
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can white or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 12 ounce jar salsa verde
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Remove the chicken from the bones. Discard the bones and chicken skin (or use it for a homemade stock). Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Note: It is easier to break down a rotisserie chicken when it is slightly warmed.
- Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Then add the salsa verde, broth, bell pepper, cumin, and oregano. Cover a bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Step 3: Stir in the chopped chicken and drained beans. Simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until warmed. Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Grab a bowl, some extra lime, and enjoy. This is great topped with chopped tortillas, warm brown rice, and/or avocado.
