slow cooked chipotle chicken chili
this is chili season! i love to eat my ground beef and black bean chili but looking for a little bit of a 'hands off' twist, i thought i would make a chipotle chicken chili. kick it up a bit! it's the perfect time of the year, too. it's cold and near the end of football season, which makes chili perfect for tailgating. it warms you up real good and the kick from the chipotle peppers warm you up even more. the best part is, you can throw it in the crock-pot and it is ready for you, when you are ready for it. win, win! no pun intended... 🙂
