3 tablespoons olive oil 
1 medium onion, chopped

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 full teaspoon cumin

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until onion begins to soften, 3-5 minutes. 
 Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes. Do not brown. 
 Add tomatoes, tomatillos and jalapeno, cook until tomatillos are soft. 
 Add chicken stock, green chilies, cooked chicken, oregano, cumin, cilantro, beans and lime juice. 
Simmer 30 - 45 minutes and season to taste with salt and pepper.
