  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon McCormick garlic onion + black pepper sea salt blend (substitute with ground pepper)
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Lawry’s seasoned salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 2 ½ cups low sodium chicken stock
  • ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 can 4-ounce can mild chopped green chiles
  • 1 can northern beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil and butter to a pan along with the onions, garlic and ¼ teaspoon of cumin. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add ¼ cup of flour and stir constantly for about 4 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a low simmer. Once it thickens, turn off and set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix together the oregano, onion powder, chili powder, adobo, Lawry’s, McCormick, cayenne pepper and the rest of the cumin.
  • Clean chicken breast and add to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the seasonings on both sides of the chicken.
  • Add the onion mixture, beans, green chiles, corn, and remaining chicken broth to the slow cooker. Stir ingredients together and cover the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low heat for 5 hours.
  • When the chili is ready, turn off the slow cooker. Remove the chicken breast and transfer to a clean cutting board. Use a fork to shred the chicken.
  • Use a cup to scoop out about 1 cup of the chili into a blender and blend into a puree.
  • Add the shredded chicken and puree back into the slow cooker. Mix in a cup of shredded cheese and more seasoning if needed.
  • When you are ready to serve, ladle the chili in a bowl, top with cheese, chopped scallions, and any other toppings you enjoy!
