01 Step
Recipe View
Gently poach the chicken: In a medium saucepan, bring lightly salted water to a simmer. Add the cubed chicken and cook until no longer pink and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a slow cooker. (Total time: 10 minutes)

Sauté aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker with the chicken. (Total time: 7 minutes)

Combine and slow cook: Add the black beans, Great Northern beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, corn, vinegar, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine. Cook on High for 3-4 hours, or on Low for 6-8 hours, until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded. (Total time: 180-480 minutes)
04 Step

Add fresh peppers: Stir in the diced green, red, and yellow bell peppers during the last 20 minutes of cooking time. This will allow them to soften slightly while retaining their vibrant color and crisp texture. (Total time: 20 minutes)
For a spicier chili, add an extra pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your preference. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup for a more natural sweetness.
