4 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Old Bay

In a large thick-bottomed stock pot, sauté onions in olive oil on medium high heat until tender, about 4 minutes.

Add the garlic, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay and cayenne and cook a minute more. Add the green chiles and dried oregano. Add the minced jalapeño.

Add the chicken and chicken stock. Increase the heat to high, bring to a simmer, lower the heat to low, cover and maintain the simmer for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
