Slow Cooking Thursday ~ Chicken Chili

Slow Cooking Thursday is hosted by Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

CHICKEN CHILI

4 chicken breasts
2 cups water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon olive oil**
1 teaspoon minced garlic (jar)
2 large onions, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
4 ounce can diced green chilies
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cans cannelini beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
1 cup shredded jack cheese

  • Cook chicken in broth and drain reserving liquid.*
  • Shred the chicken and set aside.*
  • In the olive oil, saute the garlic and onion until carmelized.*
  • Place chicken, garlic and onions in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In the reserved broth stir in the lime juice, seasonings and chilies.
  • Pour over the chicken mixture.
  • Cook on low for 2-4 hours.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with cheese.
  • Enjoy!
*If you’re in a hurry you can skip these steps, cut the chicken into small chunks and increase cooking time to 6-8 hours. We prefer the carmelized flavor of the garlic and onions and shredded chicken versus chunks.

**Omit if not sauteing.

It looks delicious, something else to put in the arsenal for next week.
