Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili

Hearty, flavorful, and delicious. This healthy slow cooker quinoa chicken Chili is simply done in your crock pot and makes great leftovers! 

z January has officially left the building but the cold weather is still lurking around. Last week we had a huge blizzard here in the North-East and schools were closed for a week. This week things are finally back to normal, but the weather is still chilly.

One of my favorite things to make during the winter is chili. It’s a must! We have it at least once a week. After all, what’s better than a nice warm bowl of hearty chili on a cold winter day ????

This slow cooker quinoa chili makes a delicious and easy dinner and if you want to prepare enough to feed a lot of people, the ingredients can easily be doubled or even tripled depending on the size of your slow cooker.

Preparing this recipe is simple. You basically pour all the ingredients into the slow cooker and that’s it. Your done. Set your slow cooker for 6-8 hours and there you go. Delicious chili that’s so flavorful your family won’t ever guess how easy it was to make.

I used RedPack crushed tomatoes in the chili to make it extra special and flavorful. I like to use RedPack canned tomatoes when making chili or stews because the tomatoes are plump and juicy and the color is super bold, which means more flavor and a better appearance!
