How to cook it · about 45 minutes

  1. Soften the chopped onion in the oil, then add the garlic and cumin for a minute.
  2. Put the whole chicken breasts in with the stock, the chiles and the drained beans. Whole, not diced — they poach and stay tender instead of going stringy.
  3. Simmer 20 minutes, then lift the chicken out and shred it with two forks.
  4. Mash about a cup of the beans against the side of the pot. That is what thickens it, rather than flour.
  5. Stir the cream cheese in until it melts, then return the chicken with the corn.
  6. Finish with the lime juice and cilantro, and taste it for salt.

Amounts are on the list above — they change with the number of people; the steps do not.
