Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 Skinless boneless chicken breasts frozen
  • 32 ounces chicken stock
  • 1 ⅓ cup fresh salsa verde
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 3 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 cans cannellini beans drained
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch for thickening
  • Cilantro for garnishing

Instructions

  • Add chicken breasts, chicken stock, salsa verde, lime juice, bouillon cubes, cumin, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and crushed red pepper to your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or on high with 3-4 hours).
  • About 40 minutes before chicken is complete, shred chicken with two forks in liquid.
  • Pour in beans and onions, and continue to cook for the remaining 40 minutes.
  • If using, carefully whisk in flour and allow sauce to thicken.
  • Garnish with cilantro and serve. This is perfect with homemade cornbread.

Notes

Like a Thicker Chili Broth? Add flour towards the end of the cooking time to thicken it up.
Use Fresh Lime Juice. It has much better flavor than bottled. While you're at it, grab a few extras and serve lime wedges for squeezing just before eating!
Adjust the Flavors to Your Taste. Make this recipe yours by adjusting any of the seasonings to make it taste the way you and your family love it.
