Green Chicken (or turkey) Chili

This is one of my families FAVORITES,

it takes minutes to make and is full of great flavor.

I just love dinners like this and you will too.

There is fresh lemon and cilantro and oh how I just LOVE those flavors.

This is one of our go-to meals when the weather starts to cool off and is perfect to warm everyone up!

So take out a pot, turn on the heat and get COOKIN’

This recipe is really delicious and has such a great flavor without being overly spicy.

It’s a real crowd pleaser and take a look below the recipe box, I show you how to make it in a SLOW COOKER!!!

I’ve updated this post to show it made in a crock pot… beautifully!

I used the same recipe: but added 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, and cooked it on high for4 hours, then added in the cilantro and lime juice.

I served it over rice and it was fantastic!
