Easy Crockpot Chicken Chili. I grew up on Texas chili, which is all beef and no beans. So when I first heard of chicken “chili” with white beans, my first thought was this does not qualify as chili. Is some New Yorker or California foodie trying to pass this off as chili to us Texans? LOL! However, then I tasted it. Whatever you call it (chili, stew, soup) the taste is out of this world! Of course, now I have served it for years and we Texans have adopted it as our own chili…at least in this Texas family.
To me, this chicken chili makes great comfort food. Plus, it can easily feed a crowd without a lot of effort by the cook. So it is great for football, or a party, or whenever you feel like some comfort food. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken; and can easily be made on a weekday as well. Throw everything in a crockpot before you leave for work and dinner is ready when you get home. Serve it with the Herdez Mexican Cornbread recipe from this site and you and all of your friends will have happy tummies! They will thank you for it.

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
