WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
I know chili seems very winter-y, but this one is my exception…it has that freshness with the lime juice, and is just so good! And I mean who doesn’t love Mexican food? That is me. Like give me ALL the Mexican food. Plus, it is an easy and quick meal with your crockpot…prepare in the morning, then leave for work, get home, and boom, dinner is served. And even though it is spring and the days are a little warmer, the nights are still cool so this is the perfect meal for those chilly nights.
I hope this one makes it into as heavy of a rotation at your house, as it is at mine. Let me know what you think!
