I'm always looking for new recipes to try. Sooo, does anyone have any favorite recipes they would like to share?
Here's one of our favorites. FI would request this once a week if he could!
Slow Cooker White Chili
3-4 boneless chicken breast
1 pkg smoked turkey sausage (or any kind of smoked sausage)-cut into small pieces.
2 large onions, diced –we skip this because we hate onions
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 quart chicken broth
6 cups white beans(3- 15oz cans of white beans)
1 - 4 oz can diced green chilies
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
additional salt and pepper to taste (probably about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon)
**If you want to add a little extra flavor and are using the slow cooker, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken, onions and garlic before you place them in the slow cooker. To do this, cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once. After you cook the chicken, add 1 cup of the broth to the skillet to deglaze the pan and get up those tasty browned bits off the bottom of the skillet, then add everything to the slow cooker.**
Add all ingredients except the "additional salt and pepper to taste" in the slow cooker. Cook on high 6-7 hours, low 10-12 hours.
Remove the chicken breasts and shred with two forks (it will just fall apart). Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir. Season to taste.
*I highly recommend the deglazing because it makes the whole meal THAT much better!*
