White Bean Chili Thrown into the crockpot!

It went from being a sunny day yesterday where I thought I would need the fans put into the house. Then today back came the rain and the cool weather.  Out came my crockpot and my crockpot liner because I refuse to soak another crockpot and dinner was made!

I found this amazing recipe on Eating Well for a White Bean Chili.  I threw mine in the crockpot because I’m lazy like that .. lol.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 4-ounce cans chopped green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 15-ounce cans great northern beans, rinsed
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups diced cooked skinless turkey, or chicken
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
PREPARATION

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in chiles, oregano, cumin and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in beans and broth; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and vinegar; cook for 5 minutes more. Serve. My changes is throw it all into the crockpot and let it cook it Smile, raw chicken and all.  I put the chicken in the kitchen aid with the paddle and shredded chicken came out (Thank you Pinterest for that tip). I also added an extra can of beans.

Recipe

This was super easy to throw into the crockpot and 5 hours later, shred the chicken and it’s dinner time! 

Turkey & Black Bean Enchilada’s are on our Wednesday night dinner.  How about you what is your dinner plan?
