Slow Cooker Ground Chicken Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Lightly grease the crock of your slow cooker with vegetable oil.
• Put chicken breasts into the bottom of the slow cooker crock; add chicken broth, black beans, cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, yellow onion, chili powder, garlic, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
• Cook on Low for 6 hours (or on High for 3 hours).
• Remove chicken breasts from the crock to a cutting board. Shred chicken into strands with a pair of forks and return it to the mixture in the crock; add sour cream and stir.
• Continue cooking on Low for 30 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a medium-sized pan. Cook and stir ground chicken in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Combine chili powder, garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; stir into chicken to coat.
• Transfer chicken to a slow cooker. Add kidney beans, diced tomatoes with chiles, black beans, onion, and chopped jalapeno. Pour chicken broth over mixture and stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on High until chili has cooked down and thickened, about 4 hours, stirring corn kernels into mixture during last 30 minutes of cook time.
• Spoon chili into bowls and top each with sour cream, Cheddar cheese, green onions, and sliced jalapeno.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add half of the ground chicken and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cook, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker insert. Repeat with the remaining chicken using another 1 teaspoon of oil and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and onions, stirring and scraping up any browned bits in the pan, until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and clove, and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook the spices. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the slow cooker, along with the pinto and cannellini beans and their bean liquid, the diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons salt and some black pepper. Cover and cook on the low setting for 6 hours.
• Serve with scallions, lime wedges and sour cream, if using.

Steps:

• Put the chicken in the slow cooker. Add 3 tablespoons of the chili powder and all the rest of the ingredients, except the beer. Stir everything together, cover, and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
• Just before serving, stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons of chili powder, the beer, if using, and season with more salt and pepper, to taste, if desired. Divide the chili among warm bowls. Serve with the topping of your choice.
• Know-How: Stirring in chili powder right before serving brightens the flavor of the chili.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour cannellini beans, black beans, corn, and tomatoes over the chicken in order listed. Sprinkle ranch dressing mix, chili powder, cumin, and onion powder on top. Place cream cheese on top. Cook on Low until chicken is fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours.
• Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks or cut into bite-sized chunks. Stir chicken back into the slow cooker; mix chili thoroughly.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped green chiles, cumin, onion powder, oregano and cayenne and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture into a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and add them to the pot. Stir in 3 cups chicken stock and the beans. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is tender, 4 to 6 hours.
• Shred the chicken using two forks. (You can do this directly in the pot, or remove the chicken to a bowl, shred it, then return it to the pot.) Stir in the frozen corn, cover and cook until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, if using, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Serve in bowls and pass the toppings at the table.
