A recipe for Sonoran-style green chile chicken stew is the perfect meal to prepare at your Arizona vacation rental after a day of exploring. This hearty, flavorful stew uses ingredients readily available at local markets and fills your rental home with the unmistakable aroma of the Southwest. It is comfort food with a desert twist.

Ingredients and Preparation

You will need two pounds of boneless chicken thighs, one can of roasted Hatch green chiles, diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, chicken broth, white beans, and fresh cilantro. Brown the chicken in a Dutch oven, then add onion and garlic until softened. Stir in the spices and chiles, pour in the broth, and simmer for forty-five minutes until the chicken is fall-apart tender.

Serving Suggestions

Shred the chicken directly in the pot and stir in the white beans for the final ten minutes of cooking. Serve in bowls topped with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, diced avocado, and warm tortilla strips. Pair with cold Mexican beer or prickly pear lemonade.
