Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

    Layer Ingredients: On top of the chicken, add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), sliced bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic.

      Season: In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

        Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth over all the ingredients in the slow cooker.

          Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

            Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix well.

              Finish with Lime: Squeeze the juice of one lime into the chili and stir.

                Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your choice of avocado slices, shredded cheese, sour cream, and crunchy tortilla chips. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
