Stewin'

Saute the onion in the oil in a large pot over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic, and cook a minute or two longer. Combine the chicken and next five ingredients (through the pepper) in a bowl. Mix well. Add chicken mix to the pan, and cook about 4-5 minutes. Add cilantro. Stir in wine, capers, beans, tomatoes, and chicken broth. Cover and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer about 10 minutes or until tender.



Put about 1/2 a cup of hot cooked white rice in the bottom of a bowl, then spoon the stew over it.

If you don't want as much liquid in your stew, leave out the chicken broth.
