Steps

1. Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Add the diced chicken breasts and boil until no longer pink in the center, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the chicken to a slow cooker.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
3. Add the black beans, great Northern beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, chicken stock, brown sugar, corn, vinegar, chili powder, ground cumin, dried cilantro, salt, and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
4. Set the slow cooker to High and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded together.
5. About 20 minutes before serving, stir in the diced green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Allow the chili to cook for the remaining time, letting the peppers soften slightly.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Enjoy your zesty, flavorful chili!
