Cook Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours 20 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 5 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans green chilis, undrained
  • 3 to 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans white beans or cannellini beans drained and rinsed**
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried chives
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high and add the onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno and continue cooking for 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the onion-garlic-jalapeno mixture to your slow cooker (I used this 6-quart slow cooker), along with the rest of the ingredients for the chili. Stir well and cover. Cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Use a fork to fish out the chicken breasts and place them on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then place it back in the crock pot. If time allows, let the chicken soak in the chili for at least 1 hour (overnight is better) for maximum flavor.
  • Serve heaping bowls of chili with your favorite toppings.

Notes

*Use more or less broth depending on how thick you like your chili recipes.
**I used 1 can of cannelini beans, and 1 can of Great Northern Beans
