Ingredients

  • 4 15 oz. cans white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 4 oz. cans diced green chilies
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Place beans, broth, whole chicken breasts, diced chilies, and oregano in a slow cooker. Cover and set slow cooker to low.
  • Meanwhile, warm oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and cumin and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add onion and garlic mixture to slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken breasts from slow cooker. Shred the chicken and set aside.
  • Remove about 2 cups of chili from the slow cooker and puree in a blender; return the pureed chili to the slow cooker and stir to combine. (Alternately, you can use an immersion blender right in the pot–just be sure to leave some whole beans).
  • Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, along with the sour cream and Monterrey Jack cheese. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro.
