    Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of chili? I LOVE chicken chili because it's filling, makes the best leftovers, and can be served over rice to make it go farther. It's also healthy---not that that is a huge focus on my site. Homemade Hostess cupcakes anyone?

    If you like cilantro as much as I do, don't skimp on adding some to the serving bowls.  So delicious and adds a ton of fresh flavor. I also like squeezing extra lime juice over mine!

    Slow Cooker Directions

    1. Combine onion, poblano pepper, jalapeno pepper, garlic, cumin, beans, chicken and broth in a slow cooker.
