Step: 1 Place a large skillet over medium-high heat to heat. Cook and stir chicken in the hot skillet for about 5 to 7 minutes till browned and crumbly. Then drain and discard the grease.

Step: 2 Place a large stockpot over medium heat and heat the oil. Then add onions and garlic; sauté them for about 5 minutes till the onions are transparent. Now stir in chiles, cumin, and oregano, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, and stir until fragrant. Add broth, cooked chicken, and beans, and drive it to a boil.
