    4 cloves garlic
    1/4 cup cilantro, packed

Start by mincing the onions, jalapenos, garlic, and cilantro.

Place all the minced items along with salsa verde, chicken broth, water, and chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Allow the chicken to cook on the high setting for 4 hours or the low setting for 7-8 hours. In the last 45 minutes of cooking, remove the chicken breast from the crockpot and shred using 2 forks. Add the lime juice along with the cannelloni beans. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker when 10 minutes remain. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with sour cream, tortilla chips, additional limes, and fresh cilantro.
