Chef Tips:
Customize this recipe by swapping the chicken with Wholesome Pantry™ organic cannellini beans and/or sour cream with plain nonfat Greek yogurt. To replace chicken with beans, in step 1, use 2 (15.5-ounce) cans white beans and cook 3 hours; in step 3, stir 1 (15.5-ounce) can white beans into slow cooker.
Use leftover chicken to make chicken salad, or serve in tacos or quesadillas.
