Directions

1. In a dutch oven heat oil over medium heat. Saute the onions until tender. Add in the green chili peppers, jalepeno and garlic. Cook until tender. Sprinkle in the cayenne, cumin, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes and cinnamon. Stir for 1 minute.

2. Take approximately 1/2 of the beans and 3 Tablespoons chicken broth and puree them together in a food processor or blender. Add this mixture, the chicken broth, whole beans to the dutch oven.

3. Add the chicken to the mixture and cook for a remaining 20 minutes with the lid off.

4. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
