Green chicken chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that’s perfect when you’re craving something warm, spicy and satisfying. With tender shredded chicken, green peppers, jalapenos and the tangy taste of salsa verde, this chili brings a vibrant twist to traditional chili recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n This chicken and green chili recipe uses the slow cooker to handle most of the work, so it’s an easy go-to meal for busy nights. Once the chili finishes cooking, ladle it into bowls and garnish with sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips for a medley of flavors and textures.<\/p>\n Green chicken chili is a flavorful dish made with chicken, chile peppers, green salsa (aka salsa verde) and spices. Our version also contains beans, which makes it taste like\u00a0a cross between chili verde<\/a> and white chicken chili<\/a>. It’s cooked in a slow cooker for ease and served with toppings like sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips.<\/p>\n Place the chicken, onions, green peppers, pickled jalapeno slices and chopped green chiles in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Pour both jars of salsa verde over the top. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for five to six hours or until the chicken is tender.<\/p>\n Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and allow it to cool slightly. Using two forks, shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.<\/p>\n Stir in the navy beans, sour cream and fresh cilantro and heat through.<\/p>\n Ladle the chili into bowls and top with the shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If you prefer a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them to the slow cooker.<\/p>\n Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. The flavors will continue to meld, making it even tastier the next day.<\/p>\n Green chicken chili freezes well. Transfer the cooled chili to freezer-safe containers, leaving a little space for expansion. The chili can be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.<\/p>\n This chili is perfect for meal prepping because it can be made ahead of time. The flavors deepen as it sits, making it even more delicious. Cook the chili a day in advance and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, reheat it when you’re ready to serve.<\/p>\n We use bone-in chicken breasts in this green chicken chili recipe, but you can substitute boneless chicken breasts or even chicken thighs. However, bone-in chicken tends to add more flavor and moisture to the dish.<\/p>\n Green chicken chili pairs well with cilantro-lime rice<\/a>, cornbread<\/a> or tortillas. To round out the meal, you can also serve it with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The prep work for this chili is easy thanks to several pantry staples.

Although the possibilities for this chili are endless, here is my own personal twist for a main course Mexican dinner: Omit the the beans, sour cream and cilantro from the chili. While the shredded chicken is still warm, add a little cream cheese to it. Spread the chicken mixture onto either flour tortillas (for burritos) or corn tortillas (for enchiladas). Roll up and place them into a 13x9\" baking dish. Pour enough of the green chili from the slow cooker to cover. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or so. Immediately sprinkle with the cheese after removing from the oven. Serve on individual plates and top with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.

As per some other reviews, I used large organic boneless\/skinless breasts and shredded them with 2 forks in the slow cooker, after everything cooked for 6 hours on low. I used a fresh jalapeno instead of the pickled ones.
