Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Chili

Remember all that chicken I had leftover from my Chicken Carnitas? Guess what?
It makes a delicious Chicken Chili!
My husband loved this because there was actually SPICE in his chili! I hardly ever make anything spicy, so the chicken gave it a burst of spicy!
We used this chili with cornbread, corn chips, and with nachos! It can be re-purposed in a variety of ways which is just another reason why I love making big pots of chili in the fall and winter!
This was the first official pot of chili that I have made this season and I foresee many more to come!
The best part is that I was able to reuse frozen chicken that we cooked and froze! That pairs two of my favorite cooking methods, slow cooker & freezer cooking!
I did mention that those two methods are saving my life right now…right?
As my daughter gets more and more mobile, dinner time just gets more complicated.
I may be going back to what I used to do many years ago with my son…cooking during nap time!
Nap time is a beautiful thing. Now, why don’t adults get naps? Why do the ‘text books’ and ‘society’ seem to think we need to grow out of naps at some point?
It’s nuts.
I need a nap.
Just saying.
Now…for some chili!
Enjoy!
