After two very long years and a move from Miami to Orlando, my parents were able to come visit us again! Knowing they were coming on Monday, I wanted to have something ready for dinner after their travels…but needed to work hard to ensure I was free all week.
Result: SLOW COOKER.
After giving them a quick tour of our neighborhood and lots of hugs, we headed back to find out if my creation would be suitable for all parties: not too spicy, but good flavor, not too many veggies, but plenty of veggies. It received nods of approval and second helpings all the way around the table {with all our mismatched bowls from my picture shoots, ha!}
Wanting to try something besides my hearty vegetable chili, I settled on white bean chicken chili…but I thought it contained dairy so I had to do some digging to come up with a version that really felt thick and hearty, yet clean!

My cooker overrunith! I used more chicken and it was too much. If I were making this just for me I would have added in shredded carrots too!
