Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili Recipe - Easy & Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can substitute with thighs)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened.

    This step enhances the flavors of the vegetables.
  2. Prepare the Crock Pot

    In the Crock Pot, add the sautéed vegetables, black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and taco seasoning.

    Layer ingredients to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Chicken and Broth

    Place the chicken breasts on top of the mixture and pour in the chicken broth.

    Do not stir; the chicken will cook down.
  4. Cook on Low

    Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

    Cook until chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  5. Shred Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot, stirring to combine.

    Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
