Slow-Cooker Chunky Chicken Chili

 Turn on your slow cooker and step aside, because you're in for a hearty treat with a twist. Our chunky chili chicken is made with dark meat chicken for a richer flavor, and the hominy gives it the texture your taste buds want. It's official: with only 5 minutes prep, making this delicious slow cooker chicken chili is the easiest thing you'll do today (and probably the most delicious too). 

Ingredients


  • 2
    pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2
    cans (14 1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1
    can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1
    package (1 ounce) Old El Paso™ chili seasoning mix
  • 2
    cans (15 1/2 ounces each) hominy or Posole, drained
  • Sour cream, if desired
  • Cilantro, if desired

Steps


1 Place chicken in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Mix tomatoes, tomato sauce and chili seasoning; pour over chicken.

2 Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.

3 Stir to break up chicken. Stir in hominy. Cover and cook on low heat setting 15 minutes until heated through. Serve chili with sour cream and cilantro. Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
