Chili Verde

O.k., I know it's a little hot for Chili, but I found this recipe online in a section of slow cooker recipes and I wanted to try it. I think it's a keeper, but I will make a few minor changes next time (like possibly waiting for colder weather!)

Ingredients:

2 1/2 C salsa verde (the salsa verde I found was "Medium" next time I will definitely look for Mild!)

1 4oz can chopped anaheim chilies

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 1 1b boneless pork loin (I used chicken)

1 14 oz can black beans, drained & rinsed

1 14 oz can white beans, drained & rinsed

Hot, cooked rice

~Sour Cream * (optional)

Instructions:

Place 2 cups of the salsa verde in the crock pot. Stir in the chilies. Add meat.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Take meat out of crock pot & shred. Add back to crock pot along with remaining salsa and the 2 cans of beans. Stir and cook for 30 minutes more. Serve over rice.

*when I taste tested this it seemed really spicy so I added in cream cheese & a tiny bit of milk to try and dilute(?) it...the cream cheese was actually good and made it very creamy (obviously); I think next time I will use sour cream--it was a nice consistency when placed over the rice.
