If you’re tired of eating beef, then this slow-cooked chicken chili is for you. It has all the things you love about a good chili, but use chicken instead of beef.
Chicken chili
is very similar to regular chili, but instead has an amazing shredded chicken throughout. This chili has a delicious range of flavors, thanks to the herbs and spices. It’s super easy to prepare, and great if you need to feed a crowd.
This version of chicken chili has the traditional tomato-based sauce with all the spices and flavors you know and love. If you are looking for something a little creamier, you should check out the recipe for chicken with white chili.
You should be able to feed about six people without needing to make any major adjustments to the recipe.
Like any chili, this will overheat very well, so be sure to save leftovers. Store it covered in the fridge until you need them. Heat in the microwave or on the stove. You can also freeze this dish and keep it for a few months before you need to eat it.
If
you
think this chili might not be spicy enough for you, you can always double the amount of chili paste. Doubling the chili should add a good amount of heat to the dish. Also, you can use any type of chili you want, such as dry, pasty, or fresh.
Beans are one of the best parts of a good chili, but if you’re not a fan, you can easily leave them out. Sometimes I replace them with a different ingredient, such as carrots cut into pieces.
For a little extra flavor, you can add some diced bacon to the chili. I recommend frying the bacon first, so you get the best texture and flavor. There are many other ingredients you can add, such as carrots, pumpkin, bell pepper, and much more.
If you’re not a fan of chicken breasts in the slow cooker, you can swap them out for chicken thighs. It will still separate in the same way and remain incredibly tasty. You will need about four chicken thighs to make up for the two chicken breasts.
There
are many ways you can serve this slow cooker chicken chili. Below are a couple of ideas on what you can do.
While you can serve this dish alone, there are plenty of extras you can have with it. For example, something like some fresh bread or homemade cornbread will go perfectly aside. You can also cook some steamed rice, but that will involve more dishes and preparation.
I love topping this chili with a spoonful of sour cream and homemade guacamole. These are the perfect seasonings, as they will help cut some of the spice that a good chili is known for.
A popular way to serve chili is on top of some corn chips. It’s a great way to make some delicious nachos. Alternatively, you can serve it over some meat fries for some delicious fries with chicken and cheese. There’s so much you can do.
