  • 1 oz. can cannellini beans not drained
  • 1 oz. can kidney bean not drained

Garnishes (pick your favs!)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 6 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and add to the bottom of the slow cooker, Add all remaining ingredients and give them a stir.
  2. Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours (checking early, thin chicken breasts will cook quicker).
  3. When chicken is tender, remove to a cutting board to shred and return to slow cooker. Cook an additional 20 minutes on LOW.
  4. If desired, add additional water/chicken broth for a less "chunky" chili. Taste and add hot sauce, salt/pepper to taste.
  5. Best garnished with cheese, green onions, sour cream, chips and bacon!

Notes

  • Liquid smoke:  Adds delightful smoky flavor. You can typically find it in a small bottle near the barbecue sauces at the grocery store.
  • STOVETOP: Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium high heat in a large Dutch oven/soup pot. Add chicken and sear on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Add the remaining ingredients, cover and gently simmer until chicken is tender, about 15-30 minutes. Shred the chicken, add it back to the pot, and gently simmer an additional 20 minutes.
  • Storage:  This chili tastes better the next day so YAY for leftovers! (I encourage you to try and make a day ahead if possible). The chili will last up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer. 
  • Variations: See post for ideas!
