This is a simple but delicious way to prepare a warm meal on a cold or rainey day. My family loves it to be served with corn bread or tortilla chips.

Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs. of bonelss chicken breasts
8 cups of water
2 tblsp's of Olive Oil
32 oz. chicken broth
2 tblsp of Ground Cumin
1/4 cup of Mild Chopped Jalepeno's
1 cup of chopped Onion
1 tblsp of chopped garlic
1 tspn of salt
1 tspn of pepper
2-3 Cans of Cooked Navy Beans, drained & rinsed
16 oz of Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
Directions
1. Cook chicken breasts in 8 cups of water for approximately 20 minutes until chicken is completely cooked.
2. Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Set broth aside as well.
3. Heat olive oil in another pan then add ground cumin, chopped jalepeno's, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat until onion is tender (approximately 5-10 minutes).
4. Add above spices, onion & jalepeno mixture in reserved chicken stock. Add additional 16 ounces of chick broth to reserved chicken stock. Let simmer for about 5-10 minutes on low.
5. Now that chicken is cooled, start shredding the chicken with your fingers (you can cut it but the consistency of the chili will not be the same). Once all chicken is shredded, add it to the simmering broth. Cook for about 20 minutes.
6. Add navy beans (depending on how much you like beans, you can add 2 or 3 cans - I recommend 3 cans). Increase heat to bring chili to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Simmer abut 20-30 minutes. Add shredded cheese to chili and stir until completely melted.
7. If chili is not desired consistency, you may add a little cornstarch and water mixture to the chili to thicken.
8. Serve chili warm with either corn bread or blue corn tortilla chips. Enjoy!
