Crock-Pot Love: Chicken Chili



This recipe is definitely a winner! And what deems a meal a success is if my babe eats TONS and still asks for more! Ding, ding, ding we have a winner! 

You definitely need to try this one! Usually for a chili, I always throw in some jalapeƱos but with our little miss we have had to improvise with spices in our own individual plates! It was honestly still amazing without the heat!

Ingredients
  • 4 bonesless chickens, thawed
  • 1 onion; yellow 
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
