1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 19 - ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
6 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers (1-1/2 cups)
1 4 1/2 - ounce can diced green chilies
1 14 1/2 - ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth

Preheat broiler. Coarsely crush 2 cups of the chips.
In 4- to 5- quart Dutch oven brown chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat. Add beans, 1 cup of the cheese, the chilies, broth, 1/2 cup water, and crushed chips. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
