How to Make Amazing Crock Pot White Chili W Chicken
- Brown 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside.
- In the crock pot (or a large pot on the stove), sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 1 tbsp olive oil for 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15-ounce) can great northern beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the browned chicken to the pot.
- **Crock-Pot:** Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. **Stovetop:** Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream or milk (optional) during the last 15 minutes of cooking (for both methods).
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream (optional). Serve with warm cornbread!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
