Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Chili
A hearty and fuss free dinner that is perfect for busy school nights.
recipesbynani.comWhen the school year starts, life gets busy fast. This slow cooker chicken chili is a lifesaver because you can just toss everything into the pot in the morning and have a warm dinner waiting for you when the kids get home.
My family loves this recipe because it is filling but not too spicy. If you have any leftovers, they honestly taste even better the next day once the flavors have had time to settle together.
