Chicken Chili

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
1 16-oz can black beans
1 16-oz can kidney beans
1 16-oz can tomato sauce
10 oz package frozen corn kernels
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies (didn't have this so I used a small can of chopped green chilies along with two cans of tomatoes)
1 packet taco seasoning (I make my own and have listed the recipe below)
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
24 0z. (3) boneless skinless chicken breasts
chili peppers, chopped (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro (I just threw in some dried cilantro directly into the chili instead of garnishing)


Combine beans, onion, chili peppers, corn, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker.



 Place chicken on top and cover.




 Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred.



 Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Top with fresh cilantro.

Serve with a side of corn bread and top off with some shredded cheese and/or sour cream



Taco Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
Much healthier for you than the packaged stuff and tastes way better. Add as much as you want to taste.
