Cook's Country Slow-Cooker White Chicken Chili image

Wow. This is a delicious chili, and I must confess you could leave out the chicken and still love it. Or substitute four bone-in split chicken breasts in place of the chicken thighs. Hominy is the secret ingredient in this recipe. The folks at Cook's Country recommend serving with diced avocado and lime wedges. Recipe courtesy of Cook's Country November/December 2009.
