Instructions

Step 1

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring often, until chicken is no longer pink, and has begun to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken to large plate, set aside.

Step 2

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to pot. Once melted, add onion, garlic, celery, and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in beans, chilies, chicken stock, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and cooked chicken. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until evenly combined. Serve warm, with toppings of choice.
