3 Bean Chicken Chili

3 bean chicken chili

Growing up, my mom was very verbal about things she did and did not like.  In turn, that made my sister and I very vocal about the things that we didn’t like either (usually, it was things that she didn’t like, because well, if she wasn’t making them, we didn’t get the chance to try them). Even with that, chili was something that she made often; however, I always refused to eat it.  Part of that was because my parents made it with venison and I refused to eat that.  Luckily, once I went to college, I started trying new things.  It took awhile, but I do love chili now. One of the reasons that I love getting in the kitchen with our Mini Chef is that she’s able to touch, taste, and explore the foods that we are cooking with everyday.

This 3 bean chicken chili is a favorite in our house.  For me, I love that it’s so quick and easy.  Throw everything in the crockpot and go about your business.  I love that Skibbles can truly help with almost every aspect of making this meal with just a little help. Most of all, I love that Andrew actually eats it.  We’ve mentioned before that he’s one of the world’s pickiest adults and before making this he refused to eat any type of soup or stew.  I’ve gotten him to love this meal and hoping it’s the  start of loving more and more soups.

Whenever we make our 3 bean chicken chili, we put it in the crockpot before bed and then turn it on.  When we wake up in the morning it’s already done.  I love doing it this way because not only is dinner for the day already done, but it allows the flavors to marinate together even longer, making it that much better.

We always serve chili with plain Greek yogurt and cheese on top and have sides of cubed avocado and homemade buttered bread to go alongside it. It’s such a great meal.

    Do you drain the beans before you put them in the crockpot?

    This is a hearty meal that will be a big hit for dinner at our house. We always make a batch of cornbread to eat with chili.
