Ground-meat chili dishes with plenty of seasonings are terrific when they're cooked in a slow cooker. The dark-colored seasonings, such as molasses, brown sugar, and chili powder, compensate for the lack of browning of the meat before you start simmering. As well as ground chicken, the chili also features onions, green bell peppers, garlic, kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, and green chili peppers. It's a wonderful medley of flavor, color, and texture, and it couldn't be easier to make. All you have to do is stir everything together in the slow cooker and let it go low and slow all day so it's ready when you get home for dinner.
