For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the slow cooker. To save time, you can use pre-cooked shredded chicken. Serve with your favorite chili toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or tortilla chips.
A comforting and flavorful chili featuring tender shredded chicken, creamy white beans, and a medley of Southwestern spices. Perfect for a cozy night in or a crowd-pleasing gathering.
In a large pot, cover the chicken with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through (45 minutes to 1 hour). Remove the chicken and set aside to cool, reserving the cooking liquid.
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat.
In a slow cooker, combine the shredded chicken, cooking liquid, white beans, hominy, onion, green chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, and chicken bouillon. Cover and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor development.
Cook the chicken and bean mixture on Low in the slow cooker for 4 to 4 1/2 hours, or until heated through and the flavors have melded.
Serve hot, topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
