Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 red pepper diced
1/2 onion diced
540 ml can black or kidney beans, drained and rinsed 19oz
1 tbsp chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups dry macaroni about 340g
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Add chicken, pepper, onion, beans, chili, powder, tomatoes, garlic, barbecue sauce, ketchup and chicken broth to slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours (because I used cooked chicken, the cooking time is pretty flexible -- if using raw chicken, you'll want to cook at least 6-8 hours on low). Shred or chop the chicken.
Half an hour before you wish to serve, set slow cooker to high and stir in salt to taste and dry pasta.
After 20-25 minutes, check to see that your pasta is cooked (if not, give it a little more time. I found that 25 minutes was perfect). Stir in cheese and serve.

Notes

*I like to prep everything the night before, and just dump it in the slow cooker in the morning and turn it on. Saves a lot of time when things get crazy!
