    In 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions and garlic in oil 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are softened.
  • 2
    Stir in cumin, salt, red pepper and chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned.

    Stir in beans, chiles and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add cheese; stir until melted. Stir in cilantro.

  • Cannellini beans are also known as white kidney beans. You’ll want to buy canned beans for this recipe, but they are also available dried.
  • To keep leftover cilantro fresh up to 2 weeks, place stems in a tall glass and add 1 or 2 inches of water. Cover with a plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator, changing the water every few days.
