Add cold water to cover beans by at least 3 inches. Bring beans and water to a rapid boil; boil for 2 min. Turn off heat and allow to sit, covered, for 1 hour. Beans may also be soaked overnight in water to cover. Drain beans. Place 5 c. chicken stock in same pot. Add garlic, onions, cilantro, parsley, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, mint, jalapeno, and beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are very tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, remove all visible fat from chicken. In a large skillet, poach chicken breasts in remaining 2 c. stock until just tender, about 15 min. Cool and cut chicken into cubes. Reserve stock and chicken. When beans are tender, add chicken and 1 c. reserved stock. Cook for 15-20 min. until chicken is heated through, thinning chili with remaining reserved stock as needed )chili should be thick). Ladle chili into bowls. Top with condiments listed above. Makes 8 servings. **Taken from The Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook
