Ingredients

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 500 g skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved horizontally

  • 2 tsp canola oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp Tex-Mex spice blend, such as Clubhouse

  • 1 540-mL can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 tbsp pickled jalapeño brine

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • BOIL broth in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and add chicken breasts. Gently poach, covered, flipping halfway, until cooked through, 18 to 20 min.
