Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 1 onion white or yellow, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- ½ packet of ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup green salsa
- ¾ cups frozen corn
- 1 4.5 oz can hatch green chiles
- 2 cans Great Northern Beans or any white beans
- 6 cups chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- salt & pepper to taste
- limes, cilantro and avocado for serving
Instructions
- Start by placing the whole pieces of chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- On top of the chicken, place the onion, garlic, ½ ranch seasoning packet, cumin, chili powder, green salsa, frozen corn, hatch green chiles, beans, and chicken broth.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and set to cook on LOW for at least 6 hours. After 6-8 hours, the chicken will be done and ready to shred. Take the chicken out of the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker.
- Add the heavy cream to the chili and let it cook for another 10 minutes on HIGH. Taste before serving to see if it needs any salt or pepper. Serve with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and avocado, if desired.
Notes
You can use your favorite green salsa here! Some favorites of mine are Herdez and Trader Joe's green salsas.
