Chicken Chili

Chicken Chili

Fiona Haynes
While chicken thighs have more fat than chicken breasts, their rich flavor means you can eat smaller portions. Here, the chicken thighs add depth of flavor in this simple, low fat chicken chili.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Total Time: 8 hours, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium red pepper, chopped into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat and cut in half
  • 1 15-ounce can no-salt-added corn, drained
  • 1 15-ounce can reduced-sodium kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 16-ounce jar low-sodium organic salsa

Preparation:

Place carrots and peppers at bottom of 4 quart crockpot, followed by chicken thigh pieces. Add corn, kidney beans and salsa. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

I would definitely make this again -- it was SO EASY and really satisfying. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs because I always have them around and the flavor was so good!!
