HEARTY CHICKEN CHILI CROCK POT



Hearty Chicken Chili Crock Pot image

This is a regular and favorite in my family. It was out of a crock pot magazine I saw on the shelves one day and I've been loving it ever since. It's easy to make, and is a great combination of healthy and comfort food. I am typing it as is in the magazine, but I personally don't use the jalapeno pepper, any extra salt and I use salt-free chicken broth. No one seems to notice anything missing. We try keep the sodium low for the most part, but to each their own! =D
