    Did you know that one simple yet high quality ingredient can make or break a meal? Grab a jar of delicious salsa verde and make this super easy Slow Cooker Green Chicken Chili!

    Look no further for a dump-and-go dinner that cooks as you go about your day! There's no prep work needed to make Green Chicken Chili... other than dicing some onions. Everything else can be added to the slow cooker and it simmers until dinnertime.

     

    Using chicken thighs instead of breasts will add more flavor to your chili. It's simple to prepare them in the slow cooker and they shred easily when fully cooked.

     

    You can use fresh corn on the cob in your Green Chicken Chili if you like, but frozen sweet corn offers consistency--not to mention making this dinner quick and easy!

    Ingredients You'll Need To Make Green Chicken Chili...

    • boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    • frozen corn kernels
    • sweet yellow onion
    • jarred minced garlic
    • white beans
    • salsa verde
    • chicken broth
    • chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro for garnish

    How To Make Green Chicken Chili in a Slow Cooker...

    1. Add chicken to slow cooker
    2. Peel onion and finely dice (use food chopper or processor)
    3. Add all remaining ingredients except for garnishes to slow cooker
    4. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours

    I made this in a 3 quart slow cooker. You can use a larger slow cooker and double the recipe if desired.

    Pro Tips...

    Want to turn up the heat on this chili? Add some jalapeños to give it a spicy kick.

     

    If you want to make this chili creamy and rich, stir in a little tempered cream cheese. Tempering dairy is important to keep it from curdling when being added to warm liquids.  To do this, simply whisk some of the warm liquid from your slow cooker with the cream cheese until smooth. Then, add it back into the chili.

     

    Leftover Green Chicken Chili keeps well in fridge up to 3 days. If you want to meal prep, it can be frozen in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Check out my helpful tips here: How To Freeze Chili.

      There is a corn cutter that is similar to a potato peeler. It works great. I cut it off over the pot. I bought mine at williams sonoma years ago.

      5 stars
      Cutting kernels off the cobs of corn is *slightly* easier if you do it over a bundt pan.
