Instructions

Step 1

Start by placing the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Add the kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, chopped onions, diced green bell pepper, tomato paste, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chili black bean sauce, and a pinch of sea salt. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together.

Step 2

Set the slow cooker to High and let it cook for about an hour. After that, give it another stir, then turn the heat down to Low. Let it simmer away for another 4 hours.

Step 3

When the cooking time is up, take the chicken out and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Stir the shredded chicken back into the chili so it soaks up all those flavors.

Step 4

Top your chili with some shredded Cheddar cheese and dig in!

Storage Tips

Allow the chili to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to four days and freezes nicely for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to maintain the right consistency.
