32ounceslow sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Add chicken, beans, corn, seasoning mix, and chicken broth to crockpot. Cover and cook on low 4 hours.
Remove chicken and place on cutting board or plate to shred using 2 forks.
Using immersion blender, puree chili for 5-10 seconds to thicken slightly. Add chicken back into crockpot and stir to combine. Serve with sour cream, avocado, shredded cheese, chips, lime, cilantro, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Frozen chicken breast may be used in place of fresh. Watch the cooking time, as slow cookers may vary.
Puree more of the chili for a thicker chili.
Any variety of white beans may be used in place of chili beans if drained and rinsed first.
You can make this with a traditional blender by putting one cup of chili in a blender and pureeing it until smooth. Then add back to the pot with the other chili and stir.
Skip the blending step if you prefer a chili that's more soup like.
