Ingredients
- 2 pound chicken breasts
- 3 ounce white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 ounce diced green chiles
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic, minced
- 6 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Steps
- Dice the yellow onion into ¼-inch pieces and mince the garlic cloves.
- Drain and rinse the three cans of white beans in a colander.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chicken breasts, white beans, diced green chiles, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
- Stir in the ground cumin, dried oregano, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is very tender and shreds easily.
- Remove the slow cooker lid and transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks, breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the beans and broth.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Cook uncovered on high for 10 minutes to heat the cream through.
- Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish each serving with fresh chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
