Directions:

1. Shred the cooked chicken without the skin and set aside.

2. Drain and rinse the beans. Preserve half of the beans and mash the other half.

3. Add olive oil, garlic, onion, and peppers in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, then add chili powder, coriander, and cumin—season lightly with salt and pepper.

4. Add chicken stock, the juice of half a lime, and beans, and simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, taste and adjust if necessary.

5. Add shredded chicken, and cook for 5 minutes. Serve hot in a bowl and top with optional ingredients. Enjoy!
