This post is written by Lorrin of Hello, Sister Love.

 

Welcome to my most favorite recipe in the whole wide world!!!

 

I’m about to let you in on a little secret, I hadn’t eaten chili, before I tried this recipe.   I had no idea what it tasted like.  I am not a fan of ground meat of any kind, and since I always made it with ground turkey for my family, I never even tested it!!

 

My husband kept telling me to make it with chicken and I thought he was referring to ground chicken (again, not a fan- although, maybe I would be if I ever bothered to try it…). Then one day, I decided to make it with chicken breasts, and holy cow…I cannot believe I had been living a life without chili for nearly 34 years!!

 

The BEST part about discovering that I was so in love with chili (yeah, it’s that serious between chili and myself), is that I knew the possibilities in making the perfect chili were literally endless. On top of that, it takes 15 minutes to prep, and is cooked in the crockpot, which pretty much makes this the most amazing recipe on earth. I have played around with some different versions of chicken chili. Right now, this is my favorite! The recipe makes enough for my family of 6 to eat twice. It would be a great idea to put half of it in a freezer bag for another night!

 

Ingredients

2- 28oz cans of crushed tomatoes
1- 15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1- 15oz can of northern beans, drained and rinsed
1- 15oz can of mild chili beans
1- 1lb bag of frozen corn (does not need to be thawed)
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup bbq sauce
2 envelopes of taco seasoning
3 med-large boneless chicken breasts

 

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in the crockpot- putting the sweet potatoes and chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Cook on high or 3-4 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours. Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked, remove the chicken and shred it and return to the crockpot. Break up potatoes with a fork to make them more bite sized. That’s it!!

We like ours with shredded cheddar and corn chips sprinkled on top.

    We love chili at our house! The only chicken chili recipe I’ve seen is white chili and my family says it just isn’t the same. I think they’ll really go for this, though. Thank you for the recipe today,Lorrin!

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
