Instructions


  1. Crockpot Instructions

    1. Note: You will need only need 1/4 cup of chicken broth to make this in the crockpot. All other ingredients are the same.
    2. Chop onions and peppers. (Optional: you can sauté in 1 teaspoon of olive oil for 2 minutes before adding to crockpot.)
    3. Lay chicken breasts along the bottom of the crockpot. 
    4. Cover chicken with pumpkin puree, onions/peppers, broth and spices.
    5. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
    6. After 6 hours, shred chicken breasts. You can shred them right in the crockpot with two forks or remove from the pan and pull apart on a cutting board. The chicken will be tender enough that it falls apart. Stir the chicken in with the other ingredients
    7. Optional if you have time: Allow the chicken to sit for an additional 10-20 minutes after shredding the chicken. The chicken will absorb some of the liquid and thicken the chili.
