It's great on its own with some tortilla chips on the side, or with rice (cauliflower rice), or even on top of a sweet potato. I love meals that I can add everything together and it cooks at the same time. Just makes it that much easier when you're running short on time.Chicken Taco Chili made in the Instant Pot or Crock Pot. Tender pieces of shredded chicken with corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, in a tomato base sauce.One of my favorite food bloggers is Gina from Skinny Taste, her recipes are easy, healthy, and always a hit with the family. I modified her recipe for Chicken Taco Chili, and replaced kidney beans with garbanzo beans, since we enjoy those more.  I also cooked it in the Instant Pot and had dinner ready in about 45 min. Not bad for an easy weeknight meal.Chicken Taco Chili made in the Instant Pot or Crock Pot.

I use to get really frustrated with her eating, but eventually realized that she will eat what she likes and I can at least offer her different foods.  She loves garbanzo beans, so first I offered her a bite of just garbanzos, and then surprisingly she decided to eat the chili! My son pretty much inhaled this chili 🙂Chicken Taco Chili made in the Instant Pot or Crock Pot.

If you don't have an Instant Pot, which I highly recommend, then the same instructions apply for a slow cooker, but for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. And if you love Instant Pot meals, here is the archive link to all my Instant Pot recipes. Enjoy!

      This came out pretty good. It Cooks out thick but you can always add 1/2 cup chicken stock. Added can of white hominey as well as 1/4 t of cumin. Wifey liked it.

        Thanks Wayne! Yes, this is a thicker chili, but adding the chicken stock is perfect to thin it out. The hominy sounds like a great addition!

      This recipe is very tasty and a simple meal to prepare after a long day of work. I've made it three times not and the family enjoys it. We top with cilantro, jalapenos, sour cream, and cheese.
      Thank you for sharing this gem.
