One of the things I love about this blog is chatting with my friends about food! In thinking about eating healthy people remember of all the yummy recipes they have in their vaults that are actually pretty darn HEALTHY! If you have a yummy recipe email it to me, we are all in this together!
This recipe comes from my gal pal Stephanie in Boise and the family INHALED it! (This included a 2-year-old who is visiting) I must say I usually strike out with crock pot recipes (bland, boring, tasteless) but this one is the real deal! Easy and full of flavor!
Thanks Steph!

INGREDIENTS
Three (3) 15-oz. cans Great Northern beans, drained – (AKA cannellini beans)
8 oz. cooked and shredded chicken breasts
1 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 cups chopped red bell peppers
2 jalapeno chili peppers, stemmed, seeded, and chopped (optional/ and I used one small can)
2 garlic cloves, minced (or two Trader Joe’s frozen garlic cubes)
2 tsp. group cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
tortilla chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Combine all ingredients except sour cream, cheddar cheese and tortilla chips in slow cooker.
(If you are going to be around you can add the onions and peppers about 1 hour before completion for a bit more crunch)
2. Cover. Cook on Low 8-10 hours, or High 4-5 hours.
3. Ladle into bowls and top individual servings as desired: sour cream, greek yogurt, cheese, cilantro, lime wedges, chopped tomatoes, diced red onion, guacamole and chips.
Enjoy!
