Food Network slow cooker chicken chili
Same as last week my parents came over for dinner on Wednesday night, the slow cooker has made it very easy to have a family dinner. Sometimes I am just at a loss if how to use it. I was on the food network website and found this recipe for slow cooker chicken chili http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/slow-cooker-chicken-chili-recipe2/index.html. I was very happy with the results, but there are a few things I would change. I used turkey instead of chicken because it was on sale. The recipe had you add the chicken uncooked. If I were to make it again, I would have brown it. When the chili was finished the turkey was mushy, but still tasted good, I think browning would have solved this. I also found the recipe had a lot of ingrediants, so I left out the cloves (they were $8), subsituted caned tomatos for fire roasted and I had no chicken broth so I used water. The chili was still very flavorful. When using the chipole pepper make sure they are chopped finely. Mine were in too large of pieces and I got a very hot bowl.

I made this and it was delicious! Couple of changes that I made...I forgot to defrost the turkey and so I just threw it in the crockpot frozen. The meat ended up staying really firm and I even had to break apart some big chunks of it before serving. I didn't have any tapioca, which ended up making the chili not as thick as I would have liked, but I think if I did this again without the tapioca, I would just leave out the chicken stock and that would fix the problem.
