Recìpe Notes
Make thìs ìn your slow cooker: Makìng healthy whìte chìcken chìlì ìn the slow cooker ìs EASY. Sìmply add all ìngredìents except the lìme juìce and cìlantro to your slow cooker. ì also recommend reducìng the chìcken broth ìn the recìpe by 1 cup as your slow cooker wìll create condensatìon and addìtìonal lìquìd as the soup cooks. Cook on hìgh for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Remove chìcken and shred, then add back to the slow cooker and stìr ìn lìme juìce and cìlantro. Season to taste. That's ìt!
