  1. Pat chicken dry and season well with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear on med/high heat in olive oil in a separate pan or directly in the slow cooker if you have a sauté function. About 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  2. Add onion, celery, jalapeno peppers, and 1 tsp salt to the pan and sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 8 minutes.
  3. Push veggies to the side and add a little more olive oil, add the garlic right into the oil along with the cumin, coriander, oregano, and 1 tsp salt. Let those cook together for a minute until fragrant.
  4. Add can of green chilis and mix. If you are working in a separate pan, transfer to slow cooker now. Add in chicken with accumulated juices. Cover with bone broth. Set on low for 6 hours.
  5. 1 hour before it is finished, add corn and beans. Reserve 1 cup of beans and place in a large jar or blender. Add in 2 cups if the veggies and broth and blend. Pour this thickened broth back into to the slow cooker.
  6. At the end of the cooking time, remove chicken from pot to a cutting board, shred with two forks, and place back into slow cooker.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with toppings! We also like to serve this over a scoop of rice.
