Creamy Chicken Chili

Jana here with a recipe that the whole family absolutely loved!  Although most of you probably don't think of chili as a summer food, save this recipe for a rainy day!  I happened to plan this on the menu for a day that we did have a cooler, rainy day, so it worked out perfect!  Add a garden salad, and some whole wheat bread, and you have a delicious meal!  This is also made in the slow cooker, so it is very low maintenance, and easy to prep!  I found the recipe that I based this on here.  For a quick meal on a busy day, you will definitely want to try this!
