During the winter season, I love to make meals that are warm and hearty. I especially loves dinners that I can throw into my slow cooker and not have to worry about until its cooked and dinnertime!! A few nights ago I made this chili and it was delicious! My family and I ate it two nights in a row and thoroughly enjoyed it! I paired it with some homemade bread and roasted broccoli!!
Ingredients:
- 1-2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into thin strips)
- 2 (15 oz) cans of white beans (drained)
- 1 (15 oz) can white corn (drained)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning, or 1 package from the store
- 1 (7 oz) can green chilies
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 14 oz chicken broth
- Sour Cream/Shredded Cheese
Directions:
- Place chicken on bottom of slow cooker. *I actually used 2 large frozen chicken breasts and placed them in the slow cooker whole. Once cooked, I shredded with two forks.
- Add beans, corn, and onion on top of chicken.
- In a bowl, mix together the garlic, taco seasoning, chilies, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth.
- Pour mixture on top of chicken.
- Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on low for about 6 hours, or high for about 4 hours.
- Once cooked, slightly mash the beans to become a thicker consistency instead of a broth.
- Serve in bowls with shredded cheese and sour cream on top!!
This looks awesome ill be tryin it soon bt Can I use da white beans frm da bag instead of can and if so does it cook da same amout of time?
Hmmm, I would assume you can, they would just need to be cooked first if using the dry bag 🙂
Do u happen to know the nutrional value of this? Calories, sodium etc.
The calories are about 320 calories per bowl. I’m not sure on the sodium level though, sorry 🙁
Does this have to be cooked in the slow cooker? How long for regular stove top cooking?
If you pre-cook everything, this can be done in about 20 minutes. Just dump everything in a large pot and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes 🙂
You will want to cook your onion first as well as the chicken and garlic 🙂
This was delicious! My whole family loved it 🙂 I used low sodium on everything I could and it turned out even better than expected.
Question: with the cream of chicken soup if condensed, do you add the water also or just the contents of the can?
Just the contents of the can 🙂
How many 1 cup servings does this make
Hmmm, I would say around 8 servings 🙂
Can the chicken be put in unfrozen and uncooked along with the other ingredients and cook all together?
Yep!! That’s the way I cook it when I make it. I have tried it using frozen chicken breast and its cooked perfectly also!! Enjoy 🙂
Can you use minced garlic out of the jar? How much would you use?
Definitely!! I believe 1/4 tsp is the equivalent of 1 clove of garlic. So, use 1 tsp in this recipe 🙂
Would this recipe work using other beans? Like kidney beans, perhaps?
Sure, I’ve never tried that but don’t see why it wouldn’t work perfectly!! 🙂
This looks delicious! Do you pre-cook the chicken by itself? How long would it take to cook un-frozen chicken thighs in the slow cooker?
Nope, I put the chicken in with everything else. I would think it would take about 4 hours on high to cook the un-frozen chicken thighs, 🙂
Would a crock pot work?
Yes! That is what I use, I just call it a slow cooker, 🙂
Do I stir it at any point during cooking or just let it simmer??
Do you pour the entire cans of corn and beans with the juice or drain them first?
I typically stir about 2-3 times during the cooking time. Just to keep things evenly warming up!!
I drain them first. The liquid comes from the broth and other ingredients, so no need to keep canned liquid 🙂
This was delicious! Will definitely make it again. A nice change from red meat, sauce and red beans.
Definitely!! So glad you enjoyed it!!!
