January is here. It feels like winter. Wait. Does it? Where I live it’s a balmy 65 degrees in January. But maybe where you are it feels like winter. And if you live where it snows, send some down to Georgia. It’s going on 2 years since my kids have seen a good snow and THEY. WANT. SNOW.
So, here’s one of my favorite recipes to make when it’s cold outside. I love this version of chili because I can get stuck in a ground beef rut, and the the star of this dish is the chicken.
I use my All-Clad Gourmet Slow Cooker with All-In One to make this chili. I adore this slow cooker. It really does everything for me in one place. Less mess and less fuss when I’m cooking!
But you can totally do this on the stove. Do everything just like I did, but when you add your chicken stock, add you beans then too! Let everything simmer for 30 minutes before you add your sour cream and heavy cream. Once you’ve stirred in those 2 ingredients, you are ready to roll, no matter which cooking method you chose!
In my video, I tell you that I use 2-12 ounce packages of Curly’s Sauceless Pulled Chicken. Don’t run away if you do not like packaged chicken! I totally dislike canned chicken, but Curly’s has a great texture and makes this recipe so easy. And you can totally feel free to use rotisserie chicken from the store or roast your own chicken if you prefer.
I just wanted to give you a shortcut because…LIFE.
So, I hope you enjoy this recipe. The handy dandy printable is below. Don’t forget to follow my blog and subscribe to my YouTube channel Just Leigh for more videos!
