Slow-Cooked Chicken Chili

5/13/2014

I've been completely obsessed with my slow-cooker lately. It's just the easiest way to make dinner. I throw all of my ingredients in the pot, turn it on while I'm sleeping, and dinner is ready in the morning. I know it's a weird time to have dinner ready but I'm just not comfortable leaving the crockpot plugged in when I'm not home. So when I wake up, I let the food cool down and pop it in the fridge. Then I take it out when I get home from work and voila! Also, it helps that I buy my chicken in bulk, clean & disinfect it all and then freeze it. So, when I'm ready to use it I don't have to worry about cleaning it. This dish is SO easy to make, I didn't have to wait for the chicken to defrost, I just threw it in the with the rest of the ingredients and it thaws out while it's cooking and just shreds on it's own overnight.
