Adding Kidney Beans to Chili

Kidney beans are a great option if you’re looking to add some heartiness and protein to your Skinny Slow Cooker Chicken Chili Recipe. They are a great addition to any dishes, The amount of kidney beans you add to your chili depends on how thick and hearty you want it to be. If you’re looking for a soupier chili, one can of kidney beans will suffice. If you want a thicker chili you may want to add more beans.I prefer a stew-more-like chili.

Please note that if you’re using dry kidney beans, you will need to soak them first before adding them to your chili. To soak the beans, place them in a large bowl and cover them with water. Allow them to soak for at least 8 hours, or overnight.Drain and rinse them before adding them to your chili.

Dried, cooked beans retain their shape better. If using canned beans for their convenience—and everybody can use a little convenience—make sure you rinse them very well.
