Paleo Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili Recipe
This delicious, hearty, bean-less chili recipe made in slow cooker with ground chicken, ground beef and sweet potatoes – the perfect combination. Also great in the pressure cabinet (directions provided both)!
From Juli Bauer & # 39; s Paleo cookbook, this is possibly the easiest recipe for slow chili I've ever made because it's very little prep! Just throw all the ingredients in a slow cooker – no need to brown the ground meat or any of the other ingredients first. Once the meat is cooked, you break it up with a wooden spoon – genius! I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, so I cracked the meat in a slow cooker with my hands so it wasn't a big piece of meat. After it cooked, I broke it up a bit more, and as you can see in the image below, it worked well.
This was pretty spicy, the original recipe requires 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus two jalapeños. Next time I do this (yes, next time) I'll cut down red pepper flakes or leave it completely out. Jalapeños have enough heat for my wimpy taste buds. I topped mine with the dice of avocado and just a little goat cheese (totally optional), which helped balance the heat. This gives a lot, leftovers can be frozen for future meals when you are busy cooking.
And since so many ask, even though I have and love my instant pot, I still love my slow cooker! I Have 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set Forget Programmable Slow Cooker (affiliate link). I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook and it automatically gets hot when done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically closes when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burned everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so big, I actually own several!
