Instructions
- In a soup pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion in oil until tender. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer or until fragrant.

- Stir in the chicken and heat through.

Notes
- This recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken! Ground beef, cubed cooked beef, or cubed cooked pork can also be used in place of the chicken.
- Make this recipe meatless by omitting the chicken completely. You can substitute an additional can of beans in place of the chicken if you would like.
- Change this up by using 2 cans of hominy (drained) in place of the corn.
- This can also be made in the slow cooker! Add everything and cook on HIGH for about 2 hours or LOW for 3-4 hours or until everything is heated through.
- If you prefer, you can use all pinto beans or all black beans. Red kidney beans can also be substituted.
