* Kinda Spicy * chicken chili:)

Chili was on the menu tonight ~
Im obsessed with my crock pot, so I needed to come up with a crock pot chili recipe (husband friendly) :)
I used many of the usual suspects in my famous chili, but a few unexpected guests arrived.



The usuals, except I had this can of grillin beans in the cupboard and thought... why not? "Black Bean Fiesta" -- sure!



...chicken instead of my usual extra lean beef

 Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts or 2 large chicken breasts (mine are essentially 2, I just butterfly them&trim fat)
• 2 cans diced tomatoes [no salt added] {not drained}
• 1 can diced tomatoes w/ chiles (or 3 reg cans diced tomatoes if you don't like heat){drain a little juice out}
• 1 can green chiles (or leave out to make less spicy){not drained}
• 1 can chili beans{not drained}
• 1 can bush's Black Bean Fiesta grillin' beans
• 2 celery stalks {cleaned, chopped}
• 2 green peppers {cleaned, chopped}
• Red onion - chopped {I used about half of a small red onion}
• few squirt of ketchup {about 1/4c. or little less}
• fresh cracked pepper, chili powder and garlic powder to taste

Make it!

• Mix all ingredients (except chicken) into a large crock pot, mix well.
• Submurge the chicken breasts into mixture
• Set crock to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours
• Remove chicken with tongs and place on cutting board --- shred.
• Return chicken back into chili mixture
• Turn down to low or "keep warm" until read to serve.
• Top with your favorite chili toppings. Delish! Enjoy!! :)

Simmering. Ready for dinna ;)
