How to cook it · about 45 minutes
- Soften the chopped onion in the oil, then add the garlic and cumin for a minute.
- 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.
- Simmer 20 minutes, then lift the chicken out and shred it with two forks.
- Mash about a cup of the beans against the side of the pot. That is what thickens it, rather than flour.
- Stir the cream cheese in until it melts, then return the chicken with the corn.
- Finish with the lime juice and cilantro, and taste it for salt.
