SLOW COOKER QUINOA CHICKEN CHILI
I was recently in Utah and realized that it’s still cold in other parts of the world while we’re sweating here in Florida. While I was there I had lunch with some fellow foodies: It was so nice to be able to talk incessantly about food without fear of being judged while trying to juggle our plethora of children.
And it seems that we also have the same taste in food because this morning when I popped this in the slow cooker I didn’t even realize that this recipe came from Boys Ahoy until later in the day. This chicken chili is made a whole lot heartier with some quinoa. Quinoa has a ton of protein and is a great addition to an already protein packed chili.
I love it topped with a little sour cream, cheese, avocado, and tortilla strips.
