Taco-less Chili

Taco-less Chili

• 1 16 oz. can black beans, drained
• 1 16 oz. can kidney beans, drained
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 10 oz. package frozen corn kernels
• 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
• 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp. cumin
• 1 tbsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• Boneless chicken strips or cutlets
• Toppings (optional): sour cream, cheese, chives, etc…

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients (except from the chicken-down.  And your toppings) in a crock pot.  You want to mix everything up so it has a chance to blend together.
   
2. Place your uncooked chicken inside and stir.  We bought raw chicken strips and mixed it into the crock pot (the original recipe called for 2 breasts sitting on the top).
3. Cook at your desired length of time.  Our crock pot only has options for 4hrs, 6hrs, 8hrs, and 10hrs.  I prepped and popped it into the crockpot before work, so I chose the 8hr. option.
4. Top with cheese, sour cream, cilantro, etc.  Basically whatever you want!
