CHICKEN, BEANS, AND BARLEY SLOW COOKER CHILI

Chicken, Beans, and Barley Slow Cooker Chili image

Quick-cooking barley and pre-cooked chicken makes this pot of chili quick, thick, and comforting. I am going to serve it with Cheddar cornbread. Serve with what ever toppings you might like. I used stock that I made from the picked chicken that I used for the chili. Made it that much richer.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CHILI WITH GREENS AND BEANS

Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with Greens and Beans image

Beans, greens and chicken come together with tomatoes in a thick and creamy broth. This recipe, as with most chili recipes, doesn't need to be exact and can be altered to fit your taste or what you have on hand. The choice of greens is up to you - my first choice is kale, but you can use spinach, turnip greens, collards or a combination (my favorite)! If you use fresh greens, wash and chop them very fine before adding them to the slow cooker.
