Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Crockpot Santa Fe Chicken with frozen chicken? Yes, but you should add an extra 1-2 hours to the cooking time on low. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before shredding.

Is this recipe spicy? The spice level is mild to medium due to the green chiles in the canned tomatoes. If you want it milder, use plain canned tomatoes. For more heat, add some jalapeños!

What are the best toppings for Santa Fe Chicken Chili? While the base is dairy-free, popular toppings include avocado slices, a squeeze of lime juice, crushed tortilla chips, or if not dairy-free, a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheddar.

How long does this stay fresh in the fridge? This meal stores beautifully for 3-4 days in an airtight container. It also freezes well for up to 3 months—just thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
