Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken and onions for about 3 minutes until softened.

  3. Stir in rice, black beans, green chilies, crushed tomatoes, and three cans of chicken broth. Mix cornstarch with the last can of broth before adding it to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-12 minutes until rice is tender.
