This chicken chili is one of my favorite go to meals when the weather gets a little chilly. It is incredibly simple to prepare because you just combine all your ingredients in the pot and let the slow cooker work its magic for a few hours.

People love this dish because it is packed with flavor and so filling. If you like a little extra heat, feel free to add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or some diced jalapeños before you start cooking.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can of sweet corn, drained
  • 1 jar of your favorite mild or medium salsa
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 packet of chili seasoning
  • 1 cup of chicken broth

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Pour the beans, corn, salsa, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth over the chicken.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the chili seasoning over the top and stir everything gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.

  5. 5

    Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken and shred it with two forks before stirring it back into the chili.

  6. 6

    Serve warm in bowls with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.

💡 Tips

Leftovers taste even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together. You can store this in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it for a quick meal later on. It is great topped with a little fresh cilantro or some crunchy tortilla chips.
