Chili is a great meal because it’s easy, delicious, and balanced. This is a great recipe because you can put it together quickly and then the slow cooker does the rest of the work. This recipe is smart, too because it uses skinless poultry, beans, and incorporates some tasty veggies, too. Try this one on a busy day (put it together in the morning) or for the next sports party you host.
