6 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
4 (15 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
1 ½ cups onions, chopped
2 lbs chicken breasts, cubbed bite sized
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
fresh cilantro (optional)
shredded Mexican blend cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)

1
Use a little oil to saute onion and garlic in a stock pot.
2
Add oregano and cumin to the onions/garlic and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.
3
Add beans, broth, and seasoned salt.
4
Bring to a decent boil and let cook about 2 hours.
5
Through in the chopped chicken (raw) to the boiling beans and continue to cook at least 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
6
I normally let this cook even longer, about an hour with the chicken because it breaks down a little bit more.
7
But it's really not needed and a lot of people prefer the chicken in larger pieces.
8
Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream and cilantro.
9
Serve with your favorite chips if you'd like.
