Description
Enter the Crockpot Mediterranean White Chicken Chili, a delightful culinary voyage combining the comforting flavors of traditional chili with a fresh twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1¼ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¾ teaspoon thyme
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans white beans, drained
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1½ teaspoons oregano
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- Toppings (Add to taste): Feta cheese, Fresh dill, Lemon wedges, Greek yogurt, Sliced avocado, Chopped red onion, Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Begin by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of the Crockpot. Add cumin, thyme, oregano, salt, and garlic to create a flavorful base. Layer the chopped onions evenly, followed by the drained white beans. Pour over the chicken broth, which will act as the cooking medium and flavor infuser. Stir the ingredients well to ensure an even flavor distribution throughout the chili.
- Set the Crockpot to your desired setting — high for a quick 4-5 hour cook or low for a prolonged 6-7 hours. Cover and let the Crockpot work its magic, melding the spices and chicken into a harmonious blend of hearty flavors. The long, slow cooking process ensures the chicken becomes fall-apart tender, deeply saturated with spice-infused broth.
- Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove it from the pot and use a fork to shred into tender, juicy pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring it into the chili for a homogenous texture and flavor.
- To add a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the chili. This step is completely optional and should be adjusted to suit your preferred consistency.
