Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili

Essentially, this is the chicken version of taco soup. Brilliant! For a while there Steve and I were having taco soup ALL the time and I got burnt out. If only I had known back then about this recipe I could have switched things up. As with all crock pot meals, I love just throwing everything in the crock pot and forgetting about it. I put this together before work and when I got home for lunch the place smelled wonderful and it was ready to be devoured. We added shredded cheese and sour cream. The only thing we were missing were the chips! On the source site she used a bed of rice on the bottom for hers and I think I will try that next time.

1 onion, chopped
1 (16 oz) can black beans
1 (16 oz) can kidney beans
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (10 oz) package frozen corn kernels
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
24 0z. (3) boneless skinless chicken breasts
chili peppers, chopped (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans, onion, chili peppers, corn, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Top with fresh cilantro. Also try it with low fat cheese and sour cream.

[My 2 Cents]
I didn’t have an onion (crazy I know!) so I just used minced onion. Enough that I felt good about it. I didn’t have frozen corn so I just used two regular sized cans. My diced tomatoes didn’t have chilies and that was fine. I only used a half tbsp of chili powder, I’m not a spicy person. I didn’t have tomato sauce so I substituted with enchilada sauce and it worked just perfectly!

    I made this dish tonight. As of now it is still simmering in the pot; however, I had to sneak a bite and it is tasty. I also sliced beef smoked sausages, chopped celery, and frozen fresh corn off the cob. Looking forward to tomorrow’s dinner. An even harder decision is wheter to top the meal off with tostitos chips, crackers, grilled cheese sandwich, or corn bread. Gucamolle, sour cream, and cheese..uhhh, hmm…

    I would use yellow hominy instead of corn. Makes it yummy
