Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with Greens and Beans.
Step 1
Start by adding the black beans, white beans, diced tomatoes, and cooked kale into your slow cooker. This colorful mix is the foundation of your chili, bringing both flavor and nutrition to the table.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, toss in the diced onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. This step adds a lovely depth of flavor to your chili.
Step 3
Transfer the sautéed onions into the slow cooker, mixing them in with the beans and tomatoes. Sprinkle the chili powder, garlic and herb seasoning, and salt over the top, adjusting the spices to your taste.
Step 4
Next, place the chicken breast halves right on top of the mixture. Pour the chicken broth over everything, ensuring the chicken is submerged in the flavorful liquid.
Step 5
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 hours. This slow cooking process allows all the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a rich and hearty chili.
Step 6
Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Shred or cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then stir it back into the chili, allowing it to soak up all those delicious flavors.
Step 7
Finally, stir in the heavy cream, letting it heat through for a few minutes. This adds a creamy richness to your chili, making it even more comforting. Serve hot and enjoy!
