This chicken chili recipe is practically effortless. Simply add chicken, bell peppers, onions and seasonings to your slow cooker, cook on low and come home to a hearty dinner! Then all that’s left to do is shred the chicken, ladle it up and dive in.

Likewise, if you’d like a thicker chili, stir in 3 tablespoons of tapioca flour, about 10 minutes before it’s done. That’ll do the trick for a heftier meal!

You can also cook this chicken chili on your stove. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until no longer pink. Remove chicken, chop it up, add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, stir, and cook for about 30 minutes on medium heat.

Tip: This chili is great for meal prep. You can double the recipe and keep refrigerated for up to 5 days, or frozen for 3 months.
