Crockpot Chipotle Chicken Chili

Looking for an easy chicken crockpot recipe? Check out this crockpot chipotle chicken chili recipe. This chili is bursting with flavors and brings a little heat. You can adjust how spicy the chili is by adding more or less chipotle pepper.

I’m a firm believer that the crockpot is one of the most underutilized kitchen gadgets out there. I use mine all the time. I love how quickly I can toss everything in my crockpot and then let it simmer all day. This is a very minimal prep recipe so it’s perfect to put together before a busy morning. It’s so awesome that you in just minutes you can have an awesome meal simmering away. If desired, you can dice the onion and bell pepper the night before to make putting this recipe together even faster.

This is also the perfect dish to prepare for a tailgate or Superbowl party. Who doesn’t love a good bowl of chili?

What type of chicken should I use in this chili recipe?

For the chicken, you can use chicken breast or chicken thighs. I prefer to use chicken thighs when slow cooking since they tend to be less dry. I don’t think you can wrong either way with this recipe though so use what you have on hand.

What should I serve with this chili?

I love to serve this crockpot chipotle chicken chili with yellow cake mix corn bread. The combination of sweet and a little spicy is amazing. You can also serve this with corn chips or oyster crackers. I like to top this crockpot chipotle chili with a little cheddar and sour cream.

What ingredients do I need to make this chili?

  • Olive oil
  • Yellow onion
  • Red bell pepper
  • Green bell pepper
  • Garlic
  • Kidney beans
  • White beans
  • Canned diced tomatoes
  • Chicken breast or chicken thighs
  • Chili powder

  • Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (7 ounces)
  • Chicken stock
