Spicy Southwestern Chicken Chili Slow Cooker Recipe

This is probably one of the best chili recipes I’ve ever tasted and super easy to prep for dinner since you throw everything in the slow cooker. It’s not super spicy, but spicy enough to give it a slight kick! I can’t remember where I got it from, but I am glad I found it, because it’s now my go to recipe for any time I get the craving for chili. Perfect for leftovers too since there will be plenty left over, at least there is when only my husband and I are eating it.
