Slow Cooker Bean Free Chicken Chili
This recipe is from a social media friend who specializes in slow cooker dishes. I made this on 4 Aug 2023, and the Thai family loved this, a very enjoyable chili for sure.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker (6+ quart)
Ingredients
- 4-5 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 2 cans creamed corn, (15 oz / 425 g each)
- 2 cans diced green chilies , (4 oz / 113 g each)
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin, heaping
- 1 teaspoon chili powder, heaping
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add the chicken breasts to your slow cooker.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients.
- Stir to mix together.
- Pour mixture over the chicken, cover and set to Low and cook for 4-6 hours.
- At 4 hours, using a meat thermometer, check the internal temp on the thickest chicken breast, when it reads 74° C (165° F), the chicken is done, if not, check again at 5 hours then at 6 hours. Mine was perfect at 5 hours. Remove chicken from the slow cooker to a cutting board, chop or shred with forks, and return to the cooker.
- Stir the chicken into the chili, cook for another 10-15 minutes.
- Serve, and if desired top with your favorite chili toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, green chilis, or spring onion. Enjoy.
Notes
For Thailand, this is high cost per serving based on the canned diced green chilis (import). The salsa verde can be an import or locally produced, I used a locally produced so I did save a few dollars that way.
