This recipe really can’t get any easier. I have the easiest chicken chili recipe. With work going back into full swing, I am constantly trying to think of recipes that I can make on the fly or prepare ahead of time. Also, with the seasons beginning to change soon, I thought it would be great to start adding in some of my soups and chilis. I enjoy meals that can be prepared ahead of time, require little clean up and can be stretched into multiple nights throughout the week-who doesn’t love leftovers?! Here is my recipe for easy peasy chicken chili.
You can use any source of chicken for this recipe- canned chicken, roasted chicken or shredded up left over chicken. For me, I like to use canned chicken. Its easy to open everything up from a can and dump it into the slow cooker. Its great to just dump it, turn it on and come home to a delicious dinner.
To make this recipe even easier to prep, use frozen veggies and canned beans. Opening everything up and throwing it into the pot takes about 5-10 minutes.
The best thing about this meal is the smell. The cumin fills the entire house with a scent of Mexican cuisine. I love walking into the house with the fragrance of this chili. Also, the great thing about his recipe is that you can add other veggies to your liking into the pot. Such as carrots, green chiles, mushrooms, or zuchinni. You could also make it extra hearty by adding in some rice. The possibilities seem endless, but this is one of my favorite cold weather meals.
