Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless skinless, or thighs
- 32 ounces chicken broth
- 1 cup white onion diced
- 1 (4.5 ounce can) green chiles diced, undrained
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon fresh thyme or bay leaf
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can steam fresh corn drain
- 1 can hominy drained (not rinsed)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- I like to use slow cooker liners for easier cleanup.
- Add everything except the shredded cheddar cheese to the slow cooker.
- You don't have to stir it. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 3.5 hours or high for 6-7 hours.
- Remove chicken breasts.
- Add cheese and stir until it melts. I've found a whisk works best for this.
- Shred the chicken and add it back into the soup. Add the cilantro, stir.
- Spoon into bowls.
