Ingredients

  • A rotisserie chicken, with the skin and bones removed, and the succulent meat pulled apart into substantial chunks
  • Two jars of salsa verde (green salsa), each 16 ounces in size
  • A can of tomato puree, large at 28 ounces
  • One cup of flavorful vegetable broth
  • Two tablespoons of chili powder for a kick of spice
  • A tablespoon of ground cumin to enhance the flavors
  • Optionally, a teaspoon of cayenne pepper for those who love heat
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the taste
  • Two cans of cannellini beans, each 15 ounces and drained
  • A package of frozen sweet white corn, 16 ounces in size
  • A bag of frozen bell pepper strips, each 16 ounces
  • One finely chopped white onion to add a hint of sweetness

Step 1

Begin by placing the tender chicken pieces in the trusty slow cooker, then generously fold in the zesty salsa verde, vibrant tomato puree, flavorful vegetable broth, aromatic chili powder, earthy cumin, spicy cayenne pepper, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Next, grace the mixture with hearty cannellini beans, sweet corn kernels, colorful bell pepper strips, and fragrant onion, ensuring everything is lovingly combined.

Step 2

Allow the ingredients to dance and mingle on High heat for a couple of hours, remembering to give them a gentle stir from time to time.
