Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Cook ground chicken until browned and crumbly (5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.

02

Step

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir the spice mixture into the cooked chicken, ensuring an even coating.

03

Step

Transfer the seasoned chicken to a slow cooker. Add kidney beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, onion, and chopped jalapeno. Pour chicken broth over the mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients.

04

Step

Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for approximately 4 hours, or on Low for about 8 hours, until the chili has thickened to your liking. During the last 30 minutes of cooking time, stir in the drained corn kernels.

05

Step

Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and sliced jalapeno to taste.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground chicken with a diced bell pepper (any color) and a stalk of celery. These vegetables add depth and sweetness to the chili.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and jalapeno to control the heat level of the chili. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno for a milder flavor.
If you prefer a thicker chili, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Stir this into the chili during the last hour of cooking.

So easy to make and incredibly delicious. My family requests it all the time. I sometimes add a can of pinto beans for variety.

This chili is fantastic! The perfect blend of flavors and spice. I love that it's made with chicken instead of beef, it feels lighter and healthier.

I made this for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about it. I added a can of diced green chiles for extra flavor.
