Here’s How to Do It:
Place chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Top with the chicken broth, white beans, green chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken breasts to a plate. Once cool enough to handle, shred and set aside.
With an immersion blender, puree a portion of the chili to thicken it, leaving some of the bean’s whole. (If you don't have an immersion blender, you can instead transfer a few ladleful’s of the chili to a food processor or blender and pulse roughly, then return back into the chili.)
Stir in the shredded chicken and cilantro. Portion into bowls and top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Add any other desired toppings and enjoy.
Let’s Talk 2025 Market Predictions!
Mortgage Rates Are Expected to Settle Down
Good news for homebuyers! In 2025, mortgage rates are expected to stabilize as inflation eases. While we might not see those record-breaking lows again, this steadiness could make planning and budgeting for a home a lot easier—and less stressful.
A Busier Housing Market
After a bit of a slowdown, the housing market looks set to bounce back in 2025. With interest rates leveling out, homes becoming more affordable, and buyers feeling more confident, it’s shaping up to be a great time for both buying and selling.
Home Prices on the Rise—Slowly
Home prices are likely to climb steadily in 2025, but nothing too dramatic. Growing demand will play a role, but with more houses on the market and buyers being cautious, price increases should stay manageable.
A Shift Toward Cozier Living
With affordability still a big consideration, many people are expected to gravitate toward smaller, more practical homes in 2025. Think efficient layouts, smart use of space, and homes designed for value—perfect for those who want to get the most bang for their buck.
