Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans drained & rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) chili beans do not drain
  • 1 can (15 oz) petite diced tomaotes do not drain
  • cups frozen corn
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together.
  • Cover with lid and let cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • About 1 hour before end of cook time, take out the chicken and shred with 2 forks. You could also just shred the chicken inside the crock pot if wanted. Add the shredded chicken back in and let cook for the remaining 1 hour.
  • Serve with all your favorite toppings. 

Notes

Nutrition Information : Serving size is for 1 cup of chicken chili. It does not include extra added toppings. 
Want it spicy? : Add in a can of green chilies. Use a can of rotel instead of diced tomatoes. Top your serving with shredded Pepper Jack cheese. Add a pinch (or two!) of cayenne red pepper to the slow cooker. Use a packet of hot taco seasoning. Add a can of chopped jalapenos. 
Chicken : You need about two pounds for this recipe. If you are using the larger chicken breasts then two will probably be plenty. If they are smaller then you will need about 4 chicken breasts.
