Impromptu White Chicken Chili (Gluten Free)

Ingredients:

2 - 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 - 2 T olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed or minced
1 medium onion, diced
2 4-oz. cans diced green chilis
2 cans great northern beans
~ 2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups water with 1 Tb chicken flavor base
1 tsp ground cumin (or to taste)
cornstarch (optional)
Butter (optional)

Directions: 

Cut chicken into small cubes and saute in olive oil along with diced onion and garlic.  When chicken is opaque, add the diced green chilies and cook for another minute or two.  Add cumin and stir for a minute, then add broth and beans.  Cook for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.  If desired, thicken with a roux of butter and cornstarch (or flour if wheat isn't a problem).  Adjust seasonings and thickness.  Serve.
