Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken Chili

It is colder and my slower cooker has been busy!  I definitely use my slow cooker all year long, but the fall and winter is when I really love to use it!  Comfort foods with a twist are some of my favorite meals to make.  And this Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken Chili is on the top of my families favorite list!  This is definitely a “pile in the ingredients” and forget it type of recipe!

Variations

As with everything I do, I try to give you different ideas on how to change up recipes so that you have options!  I have made this recipe with canned corn vs frozen, just black beans rather than black and white beans.  I have also used regular Mexican seasonings vs a Spicy Carne Asada seasoning.  Serve with cornbread, a tortilla or over rice.  All variations are delicious!
