Easy Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Chili Recipe

Brr…  It’s been pretty cold here in the last week or so.  We have had a lot of wind, which makes it seem even colder.  The kids got new scooters for Christmas and haven’t even had the chance to get outside and ride them and now we have rain in the forecast for the next several days too.

On cold days like this, there is nothing like a big pot of chili to help warm you up!  This simple chicken version, prepared in the crock pot certainly fits the bill!

I do love cooking in my crock pot, (with a crock pot liner of course.) There ‘s nothing better than a hot meal with minimal effort.

This recipe made a lot of chili.  We all had a big bowl with cornbread muffins the first night and then served the leftovers over baked potatoes on another night.  (My mom served her leftovers on a salad and said it was pretty good that way too…)

(FYI, these photos were taken the 2nd day, so quite a bit of the chili liquid had been re-absorbed.)
