Ingredients
  

  • LB Boneless, Skinless Chicken Tenders
  • 1 LB Spicy Sausage
  • 1.5 Cups Chicken broth
  • 14.5 OZ Diced Tomatoes
  • 1/2 Cup Tomato Sauce
  • 3 TBSP Tomato Paste
  • 2 Cups BLack Beans Cooked Omit to make this recipe Whole30 compliant
  • 2 Red or Green Bell Peppers Chopped
  • 1 Large Sweet or Yellow Onion Chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 TBSP Dried Basil
  • 1 TBSP Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Chipotle Powder will also work, but will make the dish more spicy
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic Minced

Instructions
 

  • If you don't have chicken tenders, breasts will work just as well. I would cut them in strips before placing in the crockpot. Most of the sausage I buy comes in a large roll, so I cut the thawed meat into small round pieces, it usually stays together while cooking in the crockpot.
  • Place all ingredients in a crockpot & stir. Place heat on low & cook for 6-8 hours. I usually put everything in a crockpot around 9 or 10am & let it cook on low till 6pm & have found that it does not overcook any of the food. You may also cook it for 4-5 hours on high heat.
  • I usually serve this crockpot dish with cauliflower rice verses basmati rice to keep it a low carb and/or whole30 compliant.
  • If you don’t want this dish to be as spicy, leave out the cayenne pepper & use italian sausage instead of the spicy sausage.
