Instructions
Prep all your veggies.
Add the chicken, chicken stock, spices, and all of the veggies except the frozen corn. [Don't add the beans either, that happens later.]Stir everything together.
Set your timer on low for 8 hours or high for 6.
Before you add the beans and corn, pull the chicken out and chop it or shred it. We like ours shredded.
During the last 45 minutes, add in the corn and white beans.
Notes
Want a Creamy Chili?If you want your chili to be thicker and creamier, you can do the following:About 15 minutes before you're ready to serve the chili, grab a saucepan and add to it 3 tbsp. of butter and melt over medium heat.Whisk in 3 tbsp. of AP flour and cook down for about 4 minutes.Add 3/4 cup of milk and whisk until smooth and creamy.It should thicken up. Once thickened, pour the mixture into your chili and mix well.Let warm together for about 10 minutes before serving.This recipe was inspired by kitchn's Slow Cooker Chicken Chili.
