www.jle-ns.org

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2-4 (15 ounce) cans great Northern Beans, undrained
1 (24 ounce) jar medium salsa
2 to 5 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (8 ounce) block jalapeno Monterey Jack, cubed
sour cream, corn bread or tortilla chips for garnish

Cover chicken with water.  Boil until cooked through.  Remove chicken to cool.  Reserve cooking water.  Shred chicken with a fork.  In a large stockpot, combine chicken, beans, salsa, cumin and enough cooking water to reach desired thickness.  Simmer until thoroughly heated.  Just prior to serving, add cheese cubes.  Stir until melted.  Serve with sour cream, corn bread or tortilla chips.  

This recipe is about as simple as it gets and tastes like you've been cooking for hours.  Chicken, cheese, beans and tortilla chips are currently on sale at Sunset which makes this a perfect, easy, inexpensive weeknight meal!
