This recipe uses boneless skinless chicken breasts but in theory you could use rotisserie chicken, thighs, or whatever kind of chicken you wanted really as long as it is cooked, skinless, and cut into bite sized pieces!

Along with that we’ll need low sodium chicken broth, onion, celery, garlic, jalapeño, salsa verde, cannelloni beans, pinto beans, ground cumin, dried oregano, red pepper, black pepper, chopped cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese!

You can swap out the cheese for any kind of shredded cheese you like to top the recipe and you can also leave out the jalapeño if you prefer a less spicy recipe, honestly it doesn’t add much heat so feel free to double that up if you prefer a little spice!
