Ingredients
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
- 1 can sweet corn, don't drain 15.25 ounce
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 15 ounce
- 1 can dark red kidney beans, don't drain 15 ounce
- 1 can tomato sauce 15 ounce
- 1 cup salsa I used a thick and chunky style
- 3 Tablespoons taco seasoning
- garnish with plain greek yogurt, shredded colby jack cheese and diced avocado
Instructions
- In a large crockpot, add chicken, corn, black beans, kidney beans, tomato sauce, salsa and taco seasoning.
- Heat for at least 6 hours on low. Before serving, use two forks to shred chicken.
- To serve, top with shredded cheese, plain greek yogurt and some diced avocado. Serve with a salad and corn muffins! ENJOY
Notes
- Salsa: Use a salsa you love! Most of the heat in this recipe comes from the jarred salsa. If you're cooking for kids or folks who are sensitive to heat, start with a mild to medium salsa and adjust the other spices accordingly. I recommend a thick and chunky salsa style--the chunks of tomato and onion add so much to this chili!
- Beans: I used black beans and red kidney beans for our taco chili because that's what I had on hand. Pinto beans would be a delicious substitute for either one, or you could use all black or all red beans. I drained the black beans but didn't drain the red beans, as I like the thickness and saltiness it adds to the finished chili.
- Tomato sauce: Use a canned, unseasoned tomato sauce for this recipe. I almost always keep a few jars ready in the pantry for use in all kinds of recipes, including this chili.
- Storing the chili: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It also freezes well!
