Satisfying slow cooker chicken chili with tender chicken, veggies, beans, and spices simmered in a flavorful broth. Just set it and forget it for a delicious meal ready when you are busy.
Ingredients:
  • 2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans tomato puree (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup chicken broth or stock
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed with a garlic press
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • Optional chili toppings:
  • Diced green onions
  • Shredded cheese
  • Diced avocado
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Sour cream
Instructions:
  • Combine the vegetables and chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken breasts are cut into 2 or 3 large pieces if being used.
  • Combine the tomato puree, broth, garlic, and spices in the slow cooker. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables. (Remember to add the beans, corn, and vinegar later.)
  • Cook the chili covered on high for 2 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours, allowing it to simmer longer on the "low" or "warm" setting if needed.
  • Using two forks, effortlessly shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Alternatively, if preferred, transfer the large pieces to a bowl, shred them, and then gracefully return the chicken to the slow cooker. Finally, season the chili with salt, pepper, or any other desired spices to enhance the flavor.
  • Add the beans, corn, and vinegar to the pot, cover, and simmer until heated through, about 15 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye out for the chili to start bubbling.
  • Enjoy with your favorite toppings! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. If you enjoyed the recipe, please consider leaving a star rating and comment below!
