Chicken Chili

Ingredients:

  • 2 Chicken Breast or 1 breast and 2 thighs

  • 1 pound of ground chicken or turkey

  • 3 Cans diced tomatoes

  • 2 cans green chilies

  • 1 Onion

  • 1 can of black beans

  • 1 can of kidney or pinto beans

  • 1 can of corn

  • ½ bottle verde sauce

  • Spices: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, & chili powder

  • 1 jalapeño or 1 habanero (optional spice)

Directions:

Place the chicken whole in a crockpot. Add the ground chicken and spices. Dice the onion thickly and add it to the pot. Drain the beans and corn of all the liquid before adding. Add the tomatoes with their liquid. Add chilies, spices, and verde sauce and stir everything together. Let it cook in the crockpot on high for 6 hours at least. If you have an Instapot, cook on slow cook for the same amount of time. You can stir periodically throughout the day if you like. After 6 hours stir and taste. Go ahead and add more spices to taste. Serve with any kind of toppings you like or even use it as a topping.

Tips and Tricks:

Use cans of tomatoes that have spices or chilies. I like using fire roasted tomatoes and tomatoes with hatch chilies. It adds more flavor to the chili.
