I don't know about you, but this winter is kicking my butt!!! White bean chicken chili is the perfect meal for a lazy Sunday or a snow day! It will warm you right up!! Hope you enjoy!
4 15oz cans great northern beans: 3 cans drained, 1 can(not drained) set aside for later in the recipe
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 7oz cans green chilis
1c onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1tbsp ground cumin
1tsp italian seasoning
1/2tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2tsp cayenne pepper(this can be left out if you don't like a little heat)
Garnish:
salsa verde
sour cream
cheese
tortilla chips
Warm oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, 5 minutes.
In a crockpot combine the following ingredients:
chicken, make sure this is covered by the broth
chicken broth
3 cans of beans ----leave the 4th can to the side for later)
onion/garlic mixture
green chilis
cumin
italian seasoning
salt
pepper
cayenne
Cook on low for 5 hours. Remove chicken and shred with a fork. Puree the last can of beans in a blender or food processor till smooth. Add pureed beans and shredded chicken back into crockpot. Stir. Cook on low for another hour.
We eat this with tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa verde in our house. It also makes great leftovers!!! Feel free to add more cayenne if you like it even spicier!
