Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large onion, chopped
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin and fat removed
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can fire-roasted diced green chiles
1 quart chicken broth
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chile-lime seasoning (such as Trader Joe's®)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne powder
1 (12 ounce) bag black bean rotini (such as Trader Joe's®)

Steps:

  • Place onion in a slow cooker. Place chicken thighs on top of onion. Add black beans, great northern beans, and chiles. Pour chicken broth on top and gently mix in chili powder, cumin, chile-lime seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne powder.

This recipe was amazing! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the black bean pasta was a great healthy alternative to regular pasta. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the pasta was bland. I wouldn't make it again.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked and the pasta was mushy.
