Join the discussionWhat are chili beans, and can you suggest a substitution? And if I can’t find tomatoes with green chilies (which I doubt I will be able to find here in the great white north), can you suggest how a ratio for canned tomatoes and canned chilies.
Faustina, chili beans you can find with your canned beans or canned chili. Typically there are brands like Bush’s or Kuners. If not you can use some pinto and some kidney to make up the chili beans. Also do you have Rotel in your stores? They are typically diced tomatoes with green chiles. I’d say a good ratio is 2 cups of diced tomatoes with 1/4 cup diced green chiles.
Where does the broth come from?
There is no broth in this particular recipe, did you mean to comment on another?
The liquid in the soup. Is it just from the canned ingedients?
Yes sure is.
Should the chicken breasts be cooked beforehand?
Lucy – The chicken breasts will cook in the slow cooker as the soup cooks.
Is there a way to cook this using frozen chicken?
We suggest thawing the chicken first, since this recipe is a slow cooker one, there is a chance that your frozen food will be in the danger zone (40-140 degrees) for longer than 2 hours. This can lead to bacterial growth.
