Slow Cooker Chicken Chili

I don't know about you but I love making meals in my slow cooker. It is a simple way to make a healthy meal without spending the whole day in the kitchen. Thank you Pinterest for another delicious meal idea. This is a recipe I was a little hesitant to try out due to the salsa verde and the chicken. I wasn't sure how it would work out but it was worth it. It never hurts to try new things and that is one thing I love about my health and fitness journey.



Last night I started prepping the chili and it did not look like much. The sauce wasn't thickening and the taste just wasn't there. Before hitting the books for college I put some corn and chili seasoning in and let it cook on low for a couple of hours while I worked on homework. I turned it off before bed and let it sit overnight. I woke up shredded the chicken breast and turned it on low for a couple of hours and just tasted it. It is absolutely delicious, the chili has thickened and it has just the right taste.
