• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 1/2 cups sliced celery
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic

What To Do
1. Cook chicken and ham in oil over medium heat in large Dutch oven until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes; remove from pan. Add onions, celery, and garlic to Dutch oven; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
2. Return meats to Dutch oven; add tomatoes, beans, sage, oregano, cumin, and orange rind; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender, about 10 minutes.
