Who could resist a south western style chicken chili? I know that my family will eat the combination of beans, chili and chicken any day. I prepared this crock pot chicken chili last week on a day when I had little time to cook. This crock pot chicken chili feeds a bunch. Go ahead and freeze some. It reheats very well and makes for a quick and healthy homemade dinner in a pinch.

Hello,
I was just curious if all of your recipes are already adjusted for high altitude? I have an aunt who just moved outside of Durango, CO who is looking for high altitude recipes! I would love to point her in the direction of your fabulous blog!I appreciate your help 🙂
Vanessa, High Altitude adjustments, if necessary, are stated in parenthesis. If non are mentioned the recipe worked for me (6500 feet) without any adjustments.
Your photos are making my stomach growl, Kirsten. I’m ready for a bowl of this chili for breakfast. I would love to smell this simmering away in my crock pot on this windy, rainy day.
All of my favorite flavors here Kirsten. And great photos as always. Wish I had this simmering for the Bronco Game. Pinned to try later.
