Smoky Chicken Chili
5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 or 2 chili peppers of your choice, chopped (poblano, anaheim, jalapeño are all nice)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can great northern or pinto beans, drained and well rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and well rinsed
4 cups chicken broth
3-4 cups cooked rice, to stir in at the end (optional, we like our chili plenty hearty)
For serving:
diced green onion, cilantro, sour cream, cheddar cheese, or guacamole
bread for dipping or crushed tortilla chips
Slow cooker instructions: Place all chopped vegetables at the bottom of the crockpot and the chicken on top. Sprinkle with garlic and spices, add beans, then pour chicken broth over all. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Remove chicken and shred with a fork, then return to crock pot, and stir in cooked rice. Serve hot with desired chili toppings.
Stovetop instructions: Sauté chopped vegetables in 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat until softened. Add in spices, beans, chicken, and broth. Bring to a boil, then turn down to low and cover. Let simmer for at least 30 to 40 minutes. Shred chicken, return to pot, stir in cooked rice, and serve hot.

Yummy!!! Can't wait to try this and hoping you feature that pumpkin chocolate chip goodness that was on instagram! Here's wishing you a marvelous weekend full of soup, orange and babies!
Mmm This reminds me of the southwest chili I accidentally made! It was almost taco soup but not quite! I've started adding wild rice into our soups and yum. best choice ever. I'll have to make this sometime! do you think it would be ok for kiddos spice wise?
Oh my! That does look delicious. You should do a video and put it on http://easyfood.tv I think people would love to see this done too. I wish we could smell it.
Just made this over the weekend and LOVED it! Shawn was especially a fan (which is surprising because he usually never feels like soup equals a whole meal) :)... so flavorful and delicious. Thank you!!!
Yum! I love finding new chili recipes.

Summer, would you ever consider a post about your grocery budget and how you make it work? I'm struggling in that area and would love some tips!
