Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 16 oz. tomatillo salsa/ salsa verde
  • 1 lg. sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
  • 1 (1.25 oz.) package white chicken chili seasoning mix
  • 2 (16 oz.) cans Pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 (15.5 oz.)cans navy beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garnish ideas: cilantro, avocado, Mexican cheese, sour cream, finely chopped onion, green onions.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the chicken thighs to the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Top with the tomatillo salsa.
  3. Add in all of the remaining ingredients (except garnish ideas).
  4. Gently stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
  5. Remove the chicken and place on a large cutting board or in a mixing bowl and shred. (Note: you can shred in the slow cooker, I just find it easier to shred it once it's out).
  6. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if desired and serve with desired toppings! Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the chicken thighs. (3-4 chicken breasts is plenty).
  • Freezer friendly: let cool and then freeze for 4-6 months. Defrost the night before you plan to serve it. 
  • Pro tip: use your stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment to shred your chicken in 30 seconds! Keep an eye on it because it shreds FAST using this method.
