Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Chili

This is a fairly spicy chipotle chicken chili that is quick to make and is full of flavor. It's easy to make in the slow cooker and uses fairly common ingredients. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded Cheddar cheese. Enjoy.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
• 1 cup chopped onions
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• 3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 lime, juiced (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.

Step 2

Place chicken in a medium pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, place diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, chile peppers, onions, chipotle peppers, garlic, and lime juice in a 6-quart slow cooker.

Step 4

Drain and cool chicken until easily handled. Shred chicken. Add to the slow cooker; stir to combine.
