Chicken Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound of cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (or shredded)
• 1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 (15-ounce) cans of white beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 (4-ounce) cans of diced green chilies
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup sour cream (optional but recommended)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except the whipping cream and sour cream in a slow cooker.
2. Stir to combine evenly, then cover.
3. Cook chicken mixture on low for about 3 hours.
4. Stir in whipping cream and sour cream (if using), and serve!

Servings: About 6

Note: The sour cream is optional. If you prefer more depth and creaminess in your chili then it is highly recommended. If you would rather have a lighter, thinner chili, you can skip it.
