I love this Slow Cooker Red Chicken Chili recipe for so many reasons. It’s super yummy and healthier than most chicken chili plus all the ingredients can be placed directly in the Crock – no need to brown the meat first! Feel free to tinker with the type of beans you use and amount of chiles (in adobo sauce) to match your taste for spice. Please share comments on what you did to make this chili recipe your own.

  1. Place the ground chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. Add 3 1/2 T. of chili powder (set aside the remaining 2 tsp. for later)
  3. Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the beer.
  4. Mix everything in the Crock.
  5. Cover and Crock on LOW for 6 hours.
  6. Stir in the remaining 2 tsp. of chili powder and the beer, if needed.
  7. Serve in bowls with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, taco chips, green onions, etc.
Note: If you don’t need 10 servings, you can half this recipe.  It freezes well so you can also freeze in individual containers and heat & eat as needed.

Question, how necessary is the tapioca? I’m guessing it’s required for thickening but I don’t have any on hand and I can’t leave the house (waiting on furniture delivery). I’ve been wanting to make this chili all week and my ground chicken is going to spoil if I don’t use it today. Help please!!

Hi,

I just flat don’t like beans, but I do like the flavor of chili. Would most of the flavor be there without the beans?

Do you have to cook ground turkey before placing in the crock pot?

Other than the obvious techniques, are there any other solutions to lowering the sodium content of what appears to be a great recipe?

I notice that you don’t seem to specify crock-pot size in your recipes. Should we assume some “standard” size? And if so, what size?
