Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 30 oz Great Northern beans 2 (15-ounce) cans, drained and rinsed (or cannellini or navy beans)
- 10 ounces green enchilada sauce 1 (10-ounce) can
- 4 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 4 ounces green chilis 1 (4-ounce) can, diced
- 1 ½ cups corn kernels frozen, or canned and drained
- ½ medium onion diced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste
Toppings
- Cilantro fresh
- Sour Cream
- Avocado diced
Instructions
- Add the beans, corn, onion, garlic, green chilies, green enchilada sauce, chicken broth, oregano, cumin, and white pepper to a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Lay the chicken breasts on top of the chili mixture in a single layer.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred it with two forks. For a thicker chili, mash about 1 cup of the beans against the side of the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken back in and season with salt to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
Stovetop method: Simmer everything, covered, in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, then shred and serve.
Creamy variation: Stir in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and ½ cup of sour cream after shredding the chicken.
