Crock Pot Chili Chicken

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Crock Pot chili chicken is a healthy, hearty chicken chili that uses cauliflower instead of beans, giving it rich flavor and texture without the carbs! This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.

Confession #62 – The year 2015 has been a lot of things for me. It is the year my daughter started kindergarten, the year I started this blog, and the year I became a stay at home mom.

It’s also, without a doubt, the year of cauliflower.

Do you measure your year in food?

I remember when my husband and I declared 2009 the year of black beans.

And last year was the year of zucchini (thanks to The Veggetti).

But 2015 will go down as the year that cauliflower became my new kitchen’s MVP (most valuable produce).

Are these normal thoughts?

Cauliflower, raw chicken, and cilantro in a crock pot

At least we are not having the year of the Twinkie.  I think I had a year of Twinkies in my twenties.

Damn, I miss my metabolism.

Anyway, I have been throwing cauliflower in all different types of dishes to get a little extra GREEN in our lives.  Since beans are considered a YELLOW on the fix, I wanted to see how cauliflower would be with chili flavoring.

Freaking delicious is the answer.  And, texture-wise, pretty similar to beans in this dish.

Crock Pot Chili Chicken topped with cheddar cheese, cilantro, avocado, and a single chip dipped in the middle. A fork is resting on the side of the bowl.

The end results was a slow cooker chili chicken of sorts.  Something you could make into a burrito bowl, a taco, a wrap.  So yummy and chock full of healthy vegetables.  I loved having extra YELLOW so I could eat mine with some organic tortilla chips!  I also topped mine with a sprinkle of corn, some shredded cheddar, fresh cilantro and guacamole.

What are your favorite chili toppings?

    I can’t wait to try this! By hot sauce do you mean Tabasco or Frank’s Red Hot?

    I am not really a fan of hot sauce, how strong is the hot sauce flavor? Totally in agreement that this is the year of cauliflower!

      Not very strong – I just felt like it needed more flavor. You leave it out and taste, adjust, etc. Might be good to just use my salt-free taco seasoning instead!

        The taco seasoning has been on my “want to make” list for a while! Maybe over winter break! I have a mason jar ready for it!!

    I’m looking forward to trying this, it’s slightly out of my comfort zone. Just wondering – any thoughts it this could be made in the instant pot? 🙂

      Yes – it totally could! Let me work on the directions today!

          Yes! I just threw everything in and set it for 15 minutes! The cauliflower is very soft when it’s done…but it’s still good. I also want to try it with cauliflower rice!

            I didn’t think to do that but I used the IP as a crockpot. Totally worked set for 8 hours and then keep warm

            Could I steam the cauliflower separately and then add it at the end to avoid the “too soft” issue? Want to make this tonight but forgot to put it in the crock pot this morning 🙁

          • Nancylynn says

            October 31, 2018 at 9:08 pm

            YES!

    Oh yum! So first off, I thought instapot and realized slow cooker but thankfully my IP does both! Second, the prep time was more like 20 mins. A little more than I wanted to deal with at 7am, but whatevs. Third, came home to a full dinner. Kid won’t eat it but that’s ok. Giant portion (he said, “don’t eat all that,” and I said, “um I think I will!”). Lastly, cool note: after it was done I took chicken out and while shredding i put the IP to high pressure for 5 mins to soften the cauliflower a bit more. No harm no foul!
    Awesome! Wish I could attach pic. Sending to IG now. Thanks again!

    Made this today and SO GOOD! I didn’t want to wait until dinner time to eat this chili so I cooked it for 3 hours on high and then took the fully cooked chicken out to shred and add it back in. Then, I let it hang out on warm until I was ready for lunch (maybe 30-45 min). Topped it with tortilla strips, cheese, and avocado. So so good! I totally forgot there was cauliflower in it! Lol your recipes NEVER disappoint!

    Thank you SO much for 21 Day Fix recipes! I can’t
    even express my gratitude enough! I am new to 21
    Day Fix. I’m just nervous I’m doing the portions
    correctly. If you can, could you just confirm?

    A 1 1/2 cup of this recipe is the same as 2 green and 1 red? Any additional toppings would need to be counted separately

    You have saved my life if it is that easy!! THANK YOU so much!

    If I don’t have tomato purée could I sub with paste or sauce ? And would that change my containers at all ? Thanks
