Ingredients

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds
1 can (15 oz) black beans drained & rinsed
1 can (15 oz) chili beans do not drain
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomaotes do not drain
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1½ cups frozen corn
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch seasoning

Instructions

Place the chicken breast in the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Add the remaining ingredients and stir everything together, making sure the chicken is nestled inside all the ingredients and somewhat covered.
1 can (15 oz) black beans, 1 can (15 oz) chili beans, 1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth, 1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomaotes, 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce, 1½ cups frozen corn, 1 packet taco seasoning, 1 packet ranch seasoning
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 7-8 hours.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a plate. Use two forks to shred the chicken, and add it back into the slow cooker. Stir everything together.
^{* You can also just shred the chicken right in the crockpot if wanted. I like to remove it so I can shred it into finer pieces.}
You can serve it right away with all your favorite chili toppings, or keep the chili inside the crockpot on the WARM setting until you're ready to serve it.

Notes

Nutrition Information : This chili makes enough for 6 servings, each serving is for 1.5 cups 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, which is about 3-4 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Chicken Broth : I like the chili better when I use a can of low-sodium chicken broth, but regular chicken broth or even salt-free chicken broth can be used - it just depends on your preference or dietary needs.
