Braised Chicken with Green Chile and White Beans

"Green chile, white beans, juicy dark meat chicken, jack cheese, plenty of cumin: this recipe for Braised Chicken with Green Chile and White Beans has all my favorite flavors. Okay, the recipe doesn't call for jack cheese, but I sprinkle some on top before serving anyway. I take quite a few shortcuts when I make this (for starters, I use canned beans), but it always turns out great and as such it's quickly become a new favorite." —Ben Fishner,
