Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken (cut into small bite sized pieces)
  • 4 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 apples (cut into bite sized pieces)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 15 oz can pinto beans (rinsed)
  • 30 oz canned cannellini beans (rinsed)
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  • Coat the bottom of a large saucepan with olive oil and heat over medium.
  • Add the chicken, chili powder and cumin and give it a quick stir so that the spices coat the chicken.
  • Cook until the chicken is cooked through 5-7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Scrape the bottom of the saucepan with a wooden spoon to loosen up all the goodness that just stuck to the pan. Then coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil again.
  • Add the onions and apples and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the apples and onions to the bowl with the chicken in it.
  • Again scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. In the same pan, melt the butter.
  • Add the flour and whisk continuously until the flour turns a light brown; it should take a few minutes. Don't take your eye off of it because it will burn.
  • Add the chicken stock and milk and whisk until the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in the apple, onion, and chicken mixture.
  • Then stir in the beans and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  • Add in the cheese and stir until it melts.
