Crockpot Chicken Chili

Tis the season (except for us Arizonans!) for sweater weather, cozy fires & comfort meals! Making meals in the crockpot is a great way to cook delicious meals in bulk without sacrificing any flavor! This crockpot chicken chili is no exception and it’s a perfect dish to have on a cool, rainy day. By adding some cream cheese to the mix, it’s a nice and creamy spin on this traditional chili recipe. Put an even bigger spin on it by making chicken chili tacos or serving over a bed of brown rice for a meal everyone is sure to love.
