A step from the norm, but yummy comfort food without a lot of prep, or attention. Enjoy!! Ingredients:
1-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken (breast or thighs your choice) we like a lot of meat so we use 2 pounds. |
1 16 ounce jar medium, (or hot if you like spicy) picante sauce |
2 large bell peppers (green, yellow, red, orange, purple, your choice) |
2 medium onions |
jalapenos |
48 ounce jar of white beans |
8-10 ounces of hot pepper jack cheese (or more if you really like cheese) |
3-4 cloves of garlic chopped fine |
1 tablespoon black pepper |
1 table spoon ground cumin |
Directions:
1. Cut chicken into small bite sized cubes, or small strips (think along the lines of chinese food for the size of the pieces)
2. Chop your bell peppers and onions to your liking
3. Chop fine your jalapeno's (cook the recipe without as you can always add them for heat if not spicy enough for you)
4. Cube, or shred your cheese
5. Picante sauce
6. Add all your ingredients to a large crock pot in this order:
7. chicken, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, garlic, beans with the juice they're in, black pepper, Cumin, pepper jack cheese, and finally picante sauce
8. Cover and let cook on high for 4 hours and finish the last 2 hours on low stirring every hour GENTLY so as to not break up the beans, and chicken too much as they cook. Beans should get creamy and very soft.
9. Alternate cooking method: put it together in the morning before you go to work, cook on low heat for the 9-10 hours you will be gone. A hot dinner will await you.
10. Garnish however you want.....maybe a little sour cream, or with a few sliced jalapenos set in the center of your bowl. Eat this like normal chili, or use it like a hot dip by scooping it up with Tortilla chips as this is how my family loves it.
11. If you feel the need to salt it, keep in mind there is a lot of salt in the cheese.
12. Even better the second day.
13. Great for parties, card games, or watching the game on TV as people can serve themselves....and it goes great with beer!
14. Makes a large batch but it freezes well in an airtight container.
