How to Make Chicken Chili in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

I was thinking on what I was going to come up with you good folks this week. My mind kept coming back to chili. However, we have a ton of different chili recipes on here…but I really wanted chili! lol So, I got to thinking. We have white chili recipes, but no regular chili recipes with chicken. I thought I’d give it a shot. Boy oh boy am I glad I did! My 7 year old who is a super picky eater and would prefer to eat only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or grilled cheeses for every meal asked for seconds! She then proclaimed that this was her favorite chili ever, and I need to make it often. High praise indeed!

If you are new to cooking, please don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you off. This really is a simple recipe. Just go down the list of ingredients, put them in the crock pot and stir. Your chicken will be fall-apart-tender, so shredding it will be a breeze. You can do this.

Now, if you have every mentioned the word chili, you know it can cause quite a….let’s say…discussion about what can and cannot be included in chili and/or what is or is not allowed in chili. One of these debates revolves around whether or not macaroni can be used in chili. So, for the convenience of people on both sides of that fence, I have made adding cooked macaroni at the end an option, but not a requirement. I have tried it both ways, and they are both fantastic! Whichever way you prefer, I hope you enjoy this delicious chili as much as we do!
