Instructions
Combine beans, onion, corn, salsa, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin and Tex Mex seasoning in slow cooker. Top with chicken and stir a bit. Cover with lid.
Cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 4 to 5 hours. Transfer the chicken breast with tongs to a cutting board or bowl and shred it with 2 forks. Add the chicken back to the slow cooker and stir everything together.
Garnish with cilantro if preferred, then ladle into bowls and serve topped with cheddar cheese or your favorite chili toppings.
Notes
Double the recipe. This recipe makes 8 servings. So if you are cooking for a crowd or want to make enough for a few more meals you’ll need to double or triple the recipe and use a large crockpot.
Make it spicy. Most chicken chili recipes just like this one are only mildly spicy. So if you like really spicy chili just add some diced jalapeno peppers or green chiles to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients.
Keep the chicken warm. Some slow cookers have timers which are really helpful. But for food safety, make sure your chili doesn’t cook and then cool off in the crockpot. Food should only stay at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
Leftover chicken chili will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
