Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

Hearty and full of flavor, combining lean chicken with protein-packed beans. It’s perfect for a cozy meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Plus, it’s easy to customize with your favorite spices or toppings.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Brown the chicken well to develop a rich flavor before adding the beans and liquids.
- Use low-sodium broth to control the salt level.
- Let the chili simmer gently to allow the flavors to meld together fully.

Step 1

Fil a large pot with water and adding a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then drop in the chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, about 7 to 10 minutes. Once done, drain the chicken and transfer it to your slow cooker.

Step 2

Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they’re soft and fragrant, around 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape this mixture into the slow cooker with the chicken.

Step 3

Now add the black beans, Great Northern beans, tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, chicken stock, brown sugar, corn, vinegar, chili powder, cumin, chopped cilantro, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the slow cooker. Give everything a good stir. Set it to cook on high for 3 to 4 hours until the beans are nice and tender.

Step 4

About 20 minutes before the chili’s done, stir in the diced green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Let it cook a little longer so the peppers soften but still keep a bit of crunch. Then it’s ready to serve!

Perfect Side Pairings

Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime add brightness. Cornbread or warm tortillas make great side options.

How To Preserve This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This chili also freezes well—portion it out and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it thickens too much.
