👩🍳 Instructions
1. Add to Slow Cooker
Place all ingredients (except cream and greens) into your slow cooker. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
2. Set It and Forget It
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
3. Shred and Stir
If using chicken, shred it with two forks right in the pot. Stir in cream and greens during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking.
4. Serve
Ladle into bowls, top with chopped parsley or cheese, and serve with crusty bread or biscuits.
🔄 Variations to Try
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the meat and double the beans or lentils.
- Spice it up: Add a dash of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
- Go Tex-Mex: Add corn, black beans, cumin, and top with tortilla strips.
- Use leftovers: This is a great way to use up cooked meats or roasted veggies.
