Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped
  • 1 (4-oz) can mild green chiles*
  • 1 (14-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (8-oz) can yellow corn, drained
  • 1 (15-oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients for the chicken chili to your slow cooker. Give everything a big stir and secure the lid. Cook on high heat for 4 hours.
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken thighs from the crock pot and transfer them to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then transfer it back into the crock pot. Taste the chili for flavor and add sea salt to your personal taste.
  • Serve chili with your choice of toppings, and enjoy! Fresh cilantro, grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and tortilla chips are amazing toppings. I recommend serving it with a hearty slice of cornbread with butter and honey.

Notes

*You can use medium or hot green chiles for spicier chili if you prefer.
