Hearty Chicken Chili Crock Pot


This is a regular and favorite in my family. It was out of a crock pot magazine i saw on the shelves one day and i've been loving it ever since. It's easy to make, and is a great combination of healthy and comfort food. I am typing it as is in the magazine, but i personally don't use the jalapeno pepper, any extra salt and i use salt-free chicken broth. No one seems to notice anything missing. we try keep the sodium low for the most part, but to each their own! =d
