1 large poblano pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, smashed with the wide side of a chef’s knife
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds trimmed boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 cups chicken broth or bone broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
3 (15-ounce) cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed, divided
For the toppings:
1 lime, zest finely grated, half of the fruit juiced, the other half cut into wedges
1 1/2 avocados, peeled and diced
Instructions
To the slow cooker, add the diced onion, chopped poblano pepper, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, chicken thighs, bone broth, ground cumin, oregano, and 2 of the 3 cans of Great Northern Beans.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. When the chicken is cooked through (at the previously listed times), remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with a fork or knife then place back in the slow cooker.
