Ingredients

  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 3 bell pepper assorted colors, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons cumin ground
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper optional
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 black beans 14-ounce can, drained and rinsed, or garbanzo beans
  • 1 diced tomatoes 14-ounce can
  • 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 lbs chicken breast or 2 lbs bone-in peices, boneless skinless

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to your crock pot in the order listed, ensuring the chicken is submerged in liquid. Stir everything well
  2. Secure the lid, place your crock pot on the low setting, and allow it to cook for 8 hours.
  3. Remove chicken from crock pot and place on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat and place meat back into the crock pot (discarding any bones if using bone-in chicken). For best results, allow chili to sit another 15 minutes (or even overnight) to allow chicken to absorb more flavor.
  4. Serve chili with grated cheese, fresh cilantro, chives, and your other favorite chili toppings.

Notes

  • *I used a red, a green, and a yellow**You can replace the chicken pieces with 2 to 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts…but why would you do that?
