Foodie Friday! - White Chicken Chili

White Chicken Chili!

I've promised this recipe to a lot of people....and I'm sorry that I am just now posting it.

I suck.

I love to eat. A lot. And this....this meal is no exception. In fact, I probably eat more of this than anything else. This is one of those awesome meals you just throw in a slow cooker and it's ready when you get home. And that moment you walk in the door, it smells like heaven. You could easily double the recipe if you have a decent size slow cooker, then freeze half of it.

So, make this. Okay? Okay.

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless skinless chicken
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 cans (15oz) great northern beans (any white bean will work)
1 can (4 1/2oz) chopped green chilies
1 can (14oz) chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 Tbs ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 envelope taco seasoning (optional - use if you don't use the cumin or paprika)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Place chicken in slow cooker (I spray my slow cooker with non-stick spray, it helps with the cleanup). Top with beans, green chilies, onion, and chicken broth. Stir in seasonings, and stir until well combined. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Once the chicken is finished cooking, use a fork to shred it. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream and whipping cream until smooth. Stir the cream mixture in to the slow cooker. Let the soup cook until heated through. Serve immediately.

That's it - you're done! Serve with tortilla chips, warm tortillas, shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado.....whatever your little heart desires.

Give this a try - even if you typically don't like white beans - you will love it!

*Remember, every slow cooker is different. Mine takes about 5-6 hours to cook the chicken, so use your best judgement.
