Equipment

  • skillet
  • Slow Cooker
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or tenders
  • 1 large onion peeled and chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 24 ounces jarred roasted red peppers in juices
  • 30 ounces red kidney beans drained
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1.5 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2.5 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, followed by the chopped onions, peppers, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes to soften.
  • Pour the sautéed veggies and the drained kidney beans in a large slow cooker. Place the chicken over the top, then sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, and salt in the slow cooker.
  • Pour the jarred roasted red peppers and their juices in a blender. Puree until very smooth. Pour the pureed red pepper and chicken broth in the slow cooker. Cover and turn on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  • When the chicken is cooked through, remove it with tongs, and shred the chicken with a fork. Stir the shredded chicken back into the crockpot. Serve warm!

Notes

This chili is well seasoned, but is not spicy. If you want to kick up the heat, add 1-2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper or hot sauce after cooking. Leftover chili tastes fabulous! Let it cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, store in an airtight container wrapped in aluminum foil for extra protection from freezer burn for up to 3 months.
