Chicken Taco Chili

So, this stay at home mama decided to get a part time job at a popular bookstore. Mondays are super crazy in our house as it is, with dance, boy scouts, etc, so I needed to up my collection of slow cooker recipes. I found one on skinnytaste.com and tweaked it a bit, mainly to accommodate what I had in the pantry. It smells so delicious cooking, especially after working all day. Hope you enjoy!

1 onion, chopped
1 16-oz can black beans
1 16-oz can kidney beans
1 16-oz can corn
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
24 oz (3-4) boneless skinless chicken breasts
chili peppers, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans, onion, chili peppers, corn, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Top with fresh cilantro. Also try it with low fat cheese and sour cream.
