Combine chicken with chiles and seasonings; refrigerate until needed. Meanwhile, combine beans, water, bouillon cubes, garlic, salt and onion in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are soft, about 1 hour. Add more water if necessary. Add chicken and spices to beans; simmer 10 minutes. Cool and freeze.
