Crockpot Chicken Chili with Roasted Peppers

When it comes to making chili of any kind, a crockpot or slow cooker of any kind will be your best friend. The chicken in this recipe will absorb the flavors of the rest of the ingredients over time.

Which means every bite will burst with flavor. The garlic, chili peppers, and bone broth will all add so much flavor to your chili that it could win awards. The key to a good chili recipe is slow cooking and giving the ingredients enough time for each ingredient to help each other ingredient.

Seasoning Mix for Slow Cooker Chili

The second most important aspect of a good chili is the seasonings. There are a few different seasonings that will need to be added, like cumin, paprika, oregano, and more.

Not only will these add a lot of flavor to the chili, but they will also add a great smell to your home as it cooks.

how to make Slow Cooker Chicken Chili

If you are roasting your own pepper, clean and remove the seeds. Spray or brush with Olive Oil and roast on a cooking sheet for 20 minutes or until the pepper starts to brown and blister.

In a large skillet, heat Olive Oil and add garlic. Cook for about 1 minute at Med-High. Then add ground chicken and cook until browned.

Combine equal parts flour or cornstarch with cold water in a bowl or measuring cup. Stir quickly until smooth. (I mixed ¼ cup each)

Turn the Crockpot to high and slowly add the mixture to the chili, stirring as you go. The amount you use will vary depending on how much liquid you have in the Crockpot and how thick you like your chili.
