Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breasts cut into small pieces
  • 30 ounces cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 30 ounces garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 2 Tablespoons cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 3 Tablespoons water

Toppings:

  • fresh cilantro leaves
  • guacamole
  • diced red onion
  • diced tomato
  • dairy free cheese

Instructions
 

  • Place the olive oil and chopped onion in the crockpot.
  • Add the chicken, spices, drained and rinsed beans, salsa verde, and chicken broth. Place the cover on the crock pot.
  • Cook for 4 hours on high heat, or 6-8 hours on low heat.
  • Just before serving, combine the cornstarch or arrowroot powder and the water in a small container with a lid. Shake well. Drizzle the mixture into the crock pot and stir. Place the cover back on and let it cook for a few minutes so that the chili thickens up.
  • Add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve chili topped with chopped avocado, guacamole, cilantro, tomatoes, or red onions.

Notes

Stove top directions:
  1. Cook the garlic and onion in the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken pieces, and cook until they are cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
  2. Add the beans, salsa, broth, and spices, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes.
  3. Place the cornstarch and water in a small container and shake well. Stir into the chili and cook for about 5 more minutes to let the chili thicken. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
Freezer meal directions:
Place all ingredients except broth and cornstarch in a gallon size freezer bag. Thaw completely in the refrigerator, then place in the crockpot, add the chicken broth, and follow the cooking instructions above.
