Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Sear the chicken thighs until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a clean cutting board and once ready to handle, slice them into large pieces. Transfer chicken to your crockpot.
  • Meanwhile, in that same skillet, saute your onion with the garlic for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cumin. Transfer to the crockpot using a rubber spatula to get all the flavors in there.
  • Add the green chiles and the crushed tomatoes into your crockpot.
  • Stir in the broth and beans. Set the lid on and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 7-8 hours.
  • Once the time is up, use a pair of tongs to take the chicken out into a shallow dish. Shred your chicken then return it into the crockpot.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the coconut milk with the flour until smooth.
  • Stir the coconut milk mixture into the soup.
  • Stir in the thawed peas.
  • Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, diced avocado, lime wedges, and high-quality corn chips.
