Equipment
- crock pot (preferred but not needed)
- Skillet
- rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ghee or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2-3 large, organic chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 1 can Canelli beans
- 1½ cups organic, frozen corn
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup jalapeno slices, from a jar
- 1/4 cup juice from jalapeno jar
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1½ teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 box chicken broth
Instructions
- If you haven't done so already, begin by cooking your chicken breasts. Drizzle a little olive oil into a small skillet and turn on low/medium heat. Add your chicken breasts with a little bit of water (about 1/4 cup) and cover. Let cook for about 5 minutes and flip. Cook for another 5 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Once cooked, remove from skillet onto a cutting board. Use two forks to finely shred each chicken breast and then set aside.
- Turn your crockpot onto high heat and set aside. On stove top, add your tablespoon of olive oil to a medium skillet along with minced garlic and chopped onion. Simmer on low heat and cook until lightly browned and fragrant. Immediately transfer cooked garlic and onion to crock pot along with the shredded chicken.
- In order, from beans to chicken broth, add the remainder of the ingredients to the crockpot and cover to cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low to cook for 6-8 hours. Stir occasionally. Feel free to add in more jalapenos for some extra spice or lime juice for a hint of tang. Top with your favorite toppings, i personally love avocado slices, extra lime juice, cilantro and a dollop of plain greek yogurt.
Notes
*If you don't have a crockpot- no worries. What you’re going to want to do is add all of your ingredients to a large stock pot and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges and plain Greek yogurt.
