Crock Pot Mexican Chicken Chili

It’s Fix and Forget Friday! Woohoo! Joining us today is Jami from The Young Wife’s Guide. Take it away, Jami!

 

I love soup. Soup of any kind. I could eat it for lunch and dinner everyday and never get sick of it. Okay, maybe eventually, but it hasn’t happened yet.
Soup is perfect for any time of the year, and is a great meal that takes only seconds to prepare once it’s already made. We love having soup for lunches in our house. It’s the perfect meal to make ahead, freeze, and then stick in the crockpot when you are ready to make it.
In my house we do freezer cooking, which means taking one long day and making all our meals for the month. I make 2-3 batches of this soup on that day, which gives me soup all month long. 
To put this recipe in the freezer, simply dump all ingredients into a freezer bag or container. When you are ready to eat it, thaw, and put into your crock pot for 8 hours. Quick, delicious, and healthy!

Mexican Chicken Chili

1 shredded rotisserie chicken or 3 cups shredded chicken breasts

2 cups black beans

2 cups pinto beans

1 cup frozen corn

3-4 chopped zucchini (I LOVE zucchini so I put a ton in)

5 cups chicken broth

2 cups chunky salsa (mild or hot depending on taste)

1 8oz can tomato sauce

 

Combined in the crock pot and cook for 7-8 hours on low.

    Are the beans canned or dry? Looks like something that we would love.

    Do you have any ideas on how to make this vegetarian? I know I can replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth, but I’m not sure about the chicken.

    is there any way to make this if you don’t have a crockpot? could you simmer it in a pot for a long time?

      Sure! With soup, crock pot recipes are easy to convert. :-) I would just simmer on the stove until the flavors were well blended.
