Slow cooker Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Chili Recipe, a rich and tangy chili, yet easy on your waistline. Perfect for new year resolutions!
There’s nothing like big pot of steaming chili to get you through the winter months. Filling and warming in both taste and temperature.
Yet, while so many of us are sticking to a new years diet, it can be tricky to find a chili recipe that delivers big flavor, without delivering big hips.
Well I’ve got one for you…
It’s a Healthy Slow Cooker Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Chili Recipe.
Robust. Sweet. Tangy.
Loaded with shredded chicken, red beans, and vegetables, all mingled together is a simmering bath of pureed roasted red peppers (instead of tomatoes.)
This healthy chili recipe is show stopper in taste, texture, and visual appeal.
Just look at that color!
My Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Chili Recipe is also very easy to make, and can be thrown in the crockpot first thing in the morning, for a ready-and-waiting meal when you come home.
It’s low in fat, high in protein and fiber, gluten free, and dairy free (unless you top it with sour cream) making this roasted red pepper chili recipe a great option for healthy eating plans.
Although well-seasoned, this is not a spicy chili, so it’s great for kids and those with spice sensitivity.
Yet feel free to add cayenne pepper, or your favorite hot sauce after cooking!
We’ll be serving our Healthy Slow Cooker Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Chili Recipe all month long, and hope you’ll give it a try as well.
You never know, it may just turn out to be a new family favorite!

Sounds very good, but could I use a different bean? Black bean perhaps?
Hi Cynthia,
Sure you can! Just swap out the kidney beans for any type of canned beans you like. Black beans are a good option, as well as butter beans, or even pinto beans.
Delicious and so easy to make!

I’ve been making this a couple years now and figured it’s about time I leave a comment since I keep coming back! It’s not that I don’t like the tomato based chili… I just love the red peppper. A perfect pick-me-up in the colder months and always impressive to folks who like chili with a twist. Also can be prepped pretty quickly and most ingredients I have on hand regularly, which is great. Thanks for the great recipe!!
I have been making this chili for 3 years and I just had to leave a review because this is my absolute most favorite chili recipe I have ever made and tasted. The flavor of the roasted red pepper is so sweet, tangy and just all around perfect. I like adding in extra red pepper and celery and use 1/2 cups of fat free low sodium chicken broth with 1/2 cup of water. I’m not using a chili person (with the beef), but with the shredded chicken and using roasted red peppers it just taste so unbelievably good. Any person I have ever made it for or have given some to have loved it. This is definitely a recipe I will use for as long as I live.
Flavor improved if:
spatchcock fresh whole chicken, boil bones, skin, pan juice and giblets to make stock;
shred chicken, set aside;
1/2″ slice 3 red bell peppers and roast until edges are dark;
dice celery, onion, garlic;
combine stock and vegetables, saute in olive oil, add garlic late;
fresh grind cumin seed for pungent, aromatic comino and add;
add salt, pepper, oregano, smoked paprika, fresh ground coriander, chipotle flakes;
adjust for thick stew/soup;
add shredded chicken;
To serve, layer 3 tortillas in a bowl thus: corn tortilla/stew/sharp cheddar (twice), another tortilla then salsa, more cheese. Microwave one minute thirty seconds each bowl, top with fresh Cilantro, queso fresca.

Hi! Do you know roughly how large the serving size is? I want to make sure I am truly eating 272cal and not 400+ haha.
Hi Erin,
The servings are approximately 1 1/4 cups. Hope this helps!
Yum!! Had some bell peppers I’d roasted myself and leftover cooked chicken breast, so this recipe was perfect to try. SO good!! Since my peppers didn’t have extra juice, I used 3 cups of chicken broth. This was great, I will definitely make this again.
We didn’t have time to make this in the slow cooker, so we did the stove top instead. We only used about half a cup of broth after reading comments that it was soupy – more of a thick and chunky chili household! It turned out amazing. Definitely will make again.

In the crockpot at this moment, it smells great. We have a tomato allergy in the family so this will be the perfect Halloween chili treat!
Also, probably not necessary, but I actually put the roasted red peppers, chicken broth, and all of the spices in the vitamix together and blended the heck out of them which resulted in a super smooth chili sauce to pour over everything.
I’m really wanting to make it for a party…do you know what size crockpot this fits in?
Fits easily in a standard sized crockpot.

Just made this today and got rave reviews. It was so tasty! I did add a little crushed tomato I had leftover plus some green bell pepper, and left out the beans since we don’t care for them. Will definitely be making this one on a regular basis! Thank you!

I was too lazy to sautee the veggies first so I just threw it all in the Crock-Pot at once and gave it a quick stir. It was DELICIOUS. Spicy and hearty!
Hi Whitney,
Thanks so much for reporting back! I’m so glad you liked it!! :)
Made this for dinner and it was so flavorful. However, after looking at the ingredients today I realize that I forgot to add the 2 cups of chicken broth, ooppps. I couldn’t tell anything was missing and it still had plenty of liquid. So a good foolproof meal.
Could you prep this ahead and make into a freezer dump bag?
Hi Donna,
Yes, this is a great freezer recipe. :)
This was delicious!

I made this today and added 1tsp. red pepper flakes to the spice mix! It added just the right amount of spice. I also cut the chicken breast into 1″ chunks before cooking, eliminating the need to shred at the end. This is some dang good chili!

Just got this in the crock pot. My pepper puree came out much thinner than what it looks like in the photos… Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Success. Delicious recipe. Came out soupy, but very flavorful and delightful. Is the recipe meant for it to be soupy or any suggestions for next time? Thank you so much. I have enough to last me for a couple weeks.
Would it be ok to freeze this after cooking? I’m planning on making it tonight but we won’t be able to eat all of it before we go out of town for a week.

This chili looks delicious. Is there anything that can be substituted for the kidney beans? My family just will not eat them. I love the roasted red pepper flavor and all the rest and would love to make it.
Hi Karen! You can sub any kind of beans you like. :)
I made this tonite, it was delicious!!!! Thanks for great recipe.
wow, look very delicious
Chili is a winter fav! It’s great to see a healthier version!
Oh yes, piping hot chilis definitely do make the winter go faster!
This looks really delightful Sommer. It’s a cold, gray winter Saturday, and this looks like just the thing to warm me up!
I love the idea of chili made with roasted red peppers instead of tomatoes – what a vibrant chili!
I agree, I can’t say enough good things about the slow cooker.
Can you cook this on top of stove or do you need a slow cooker?
Hi Maurita! Yes, just cook it at medium heat until the chicken has cooked through… about 30 minutes. Follow the rest of the recipe as-is. :)
This is one tasty looking chicken chili!
looks delicious!!
Always looking for healthy, quick options! This sounds great
This looks so good!!!
Josh will love this recipe for game night!
This is really easy and nice recipe! I love chili and all food that contains it:) I would like to know whether that is possible that you can share here some good recipe of chili sauce?
