Saute 1 chopped white onion (any kind of onion is fine) for about 5 minutes. Add 3 cloves garlic, chopped and saute for another 3 minutes. (Sometimes I feel like every good recipe begins with sauteed onion and garlic)
I'm going to let you into one of my best secrets to many delicious, easy recipes...ROTISSERIE CHICKEN!!! You can buy it at any grocery store in the prepared food area. They are usually no more than about $5 and they are full of flavor and already cooked. When I buy it, I immediately shred it and put it in the fridge. You can use it for ANYTHING (sandwiches, tacos, soups, salads)! For this recipe, use half of the shredded chicken, white and dark meat.
Add Chicken, vegetable broth, chicken broth, and rotel to the sauteed garlic and onions. Cover and bring to a boil.
Next add the chopped tomatillos and lower the heat to a simmer. If you have never worked with tomatillos, they are a similar texture to tomatoes, but more dense and more tart. This is what they look like when you purchase them at the store...
Peel off the outer skin and rinse well and roughly chop.
Add 1 chopped zucchini, 4 chopped green onions, 1 chopped jalapeno, 1 Tbl. Cumin, and 1tsp. Dried Oregano to the pot. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Add 1 Cup water, 1 can white beans, rinsed and drained, 1 Tbl. Fresh Lime juice, and 1/2 C cilantro. Cook until heated through.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, green onion, and freshly ground black pepper.
