Crock Pot Chicken Chili Recipe
We are having a cold spell down here in Florida. Brrrrr... Tonight is the perfect night for this Crock Pot Chicken Chili recipe.
There are two meals my family loves to eat when the weather turns cold and that is a crock pot beef soup or easy Crock Pot chili.
Most of the family (the guys) prefer chili made with ground beef. I, on the other hand, love Chicken Chili. Today's Crock Pot Chicken Chili recipe for #CrockPotFriday is perfect to help warm you up in this cold winter weather.
Pull out the slow cooker and make this Crock Pot Chicken Chili tonight!

Hey Arlene,
This looks like such a cozy and comforting meal. I am definitely going to be making this. Just one question, I am going to be using fresh tomatoes. How do you think I should go about using them?
Thank you,

Thank you so much! Dice the fresh tomatoes and add them to the crock pot when you add the sauteed garlic, onions and peppers.
