Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Description
This chili begins by mixing an array of ingredients including kidney and black beans, chopped onion, green chili peppers, frozen corn, tomato sauce, and canned diced tomatoes with chilies in a slow cooker. Spices such as cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, garlic and onion powders, salt, pepper, and a taco seasoning packet create a deep, layered flavor profile.
The chicken breasts are nestled into the mixture and cooked on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and absorb the spices. The chicken is removed, shredded, then stirred back into the chili to combine fully.
The chili can be garnished with fresh cilantro and additional toppings as desired. The long cook time in the crock pot enhances the melding of spices and ingredients while producing a hearty, warming dish suitable for cooler weather or crowd-serving.
