This is a fairly spicy chipotle chicken chili that is quick to make and is full of flavor. It's easy to make in the slow cooker and uses fairly common ingredients. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded Cheddar cheese. Enjoy.

Ingredients

1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
1 (6 ounce) can green chile peppers
1 cup chopped onions

8 cloves garlic, sliced
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons ground cumin

Steps:

Place chicken in a medium pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
While the chicken is cooking, place diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, chile peppers, onions, chipotle peppers, garlic, and lime juice in a 6-quart slow cooker.
Drain and cool chicken until easily handled. Shred chicken. Add to the slow cooker; stir to combine.

2 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 (16 ounce) cans chili beans, undrained
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and sausage in the hot skillet until some of the fat renders, 2 to 3 minutes; add onion and garlic and continue to cook and stir until the meats are browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker.
