Black bean chicken chili is a great alternative to the traditional beef recipe! Crisp mornings, busy afternoons and chilly evenings — perfect for the slow cooker.
We’re big fans of chili in this house, but sometimes it’s nice to very from traditional ground beef chili.
One of my favorite recipes uses chicken and black beans (although pinto or white beans would work great too).
In this recipe, I love how you can take two chicken breasts and stretch them to feed four to six people, and the flavors that soak into the meat are so rich and satisfying from slowly simmering all day while you’re at work.
Your tummy will be grumbling hungrily just thinking about it!
