Chicken Chili with beans and veggies makes THE easiest weeknight meal. Dump, forget about it, ready in 6 hours.
Ingredients
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, slightly drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chili, slightly drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, low sodium, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans, drained slightly
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • ½ package taco seasoning (see notes)
  • 1.5 lb thinly sliced chicken breasts
  • Toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream, pico de gallo
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients in slow cooker (onion through taco seasoning). Place chicken breasts on top, covering slightly with chili mixture.
  2. Cook for 6 hours on low. Remove chicken breasts, shred (they should shred very easily). Add chicken back to slow cooker and keep chili on warm setting until ready to serve. Ladle into bowls and serve with cheese, avocado, pico de gallo, sour cream and/or cilantro.
Notes
If you don't have taco seasoning add: 1½ teaspoons chili powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika.

Always compare brands/types of food to find the lower sodium option. Even within the same brand there can be differences depending on style. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
