1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, undrained
4 teasp snipped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup (2 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

Meanwhile, chop onion. Cut chicken into 1/2" pieces. Cook chicken in large pot. Approximately 3 minutes. Add onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook and stir 2 mins. Stir in broth, tomatoes and chilies. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 mins.
