Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili





This recipe is so easy I think a chimp could put it together. Well, maybe that is overstating it a bit; BUT it is really easy...and delicious. This Pinterest find was another perfect remedy for a busy t-ball night at our house. I served it over tortilla chips (a la nachos), with some Greek yogurt (standing in for sour cream) and diced avocados for toppings. It was totally yummy! This would make for great burrito filling, or just as a stand alone chili, too.
