2. Chop your chicken strips into small cubes and add those in with your veggies. Sauté until slightly browned. Season again with salt and pepper.
3. Add in your diced green chiles, coriander, cumin, salsa verde, and water & stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes with a lid half on the pot.
4. Add your rinsed & drained beans and sour cream to the chili and stir well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes.
