Crockpot White Chili

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"This recipe comes from the book: "Make It Fast, Cook It Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea. It is a very tasty, not too hot chili that is just right for these cold winter days. I added little cubes (less than 1/2-inch) of 3 uncooked chicken breasts to this chili about half way through the cooking for a little more protein, as though it needs it. It didn't hurt one bit! The author says this is a soupy chili but I did not find it so. It has great flavor. She cautions that the beans sink while the corn floats. So you need to dig down to the bottom of the bowl to make sure you get beans in every bite."

 

• Ready In: 8hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen white corn
• 2 (16 ounce) cans white beans (Great Northern or Navy(I used Navy beans)
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies (I used a 7 oz. can)
• 1⁄2 chopped white onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 lemon, juice of
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon italian seasoning
• salt and pepper
• mozzarella cheese (to garnish) (optional)

directions

1. Add all ingredients (except the mozzarella) to the crockpot as you open or prepare them. You do not need to drain and rinse the beans or the chilies. I used a 3-1/2 quart crockpot which was quite full but you could use a 4-1/2 quart size also.
2. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-9 hours. Add 2 or 3 uncooked chicken breasts cut in a small dice halfway through the cooking time if you wish.
3. To serve: Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. Serve topped with shredded mozzarella cheese if you wish.

This is a great recipe! I stirred in a can of cubed turkey instead of cooking chicken. I'll make it again.
