Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Chili Recipe

A Simple and Delicious Comfort Meal

Nothing’s better on a cold winter day than snuggling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and a good book.  Today we’ve spent the day hanging out in our PJs relaxing and playing indoors– it’s so cold and rainy outside– I have ZERO desire to go anywhere today!

The kids snuggled up with blankets and their bean bag chairs watching movies all day while I lounged behind them finishing up a book that I’ve seriously been trying to find time to finish for the last 6 months!

Days like this come so seldom and are a true luxury compared to my busy non-stop mommy days….even the kids were mellow today!  

Sometimes it’s nice to just sit and be with each other for a day…no worrying about what time it is…no schedules to follow….etc.  So I don’t want to break up this peaceful harmony by spending a ton of time in the kitchen making dinner.

Slow Cooker Chicken Chili Recipe
This delicious and simple slow cooker southwest chicken chili recipe is a family favorite! Perfect dinner for busy nights.

Luckily, I went shopping earlier this weekend and picked up everything I needed to make this Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Chili Recipe.  It’s the perfect comfort food recipe….the whole family loves it and it takes me less than 10 minutes to throw it all together!

Sometimes I like to toss in a couple of baked potatoes to make this meal even heartier. Quick tip: if you place a disposable pie plate in the slow cooker you can cook your potatoes separately.
