Crock Pot Chicken Chili

Would you believe that I never tried chili until I was 24? It wasn't something that we ate growing up and it certainly doesn't look appetizing, so when Matt finally got me to try his grandmother's chili about a year after we had starting dating, I was pretty sure I would hate it. I actually loved it and I now make it all the time. I like chili so much in fact that Matt and I went to our first Chili and Chowder challenge this year and had a blast. We must have tried at least 25 different kinds of chili while we were there and we are already planning on going back next year. This is a new recipe that I recently found online at http://www.recipezaar.com/ and it's the first time I have made chili with chicken instead of ground beef or turkey. While it was a little too hot yesterday to be eating chili for dinner, this was cooked in the crock pot so at least I didn't have to work too hard in the heat! Overall, we were very impressed with this chili, I will definitely be making it again.

12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 (1 3/8 oz) envelope chili seasoning mix

1 quart canned tomato (I used diced)

1 onion, chopped

1/2 cup salsa

In a sprayed, nonstick skillet, sear chicken.

Top with your favorite chili toppings (cheese, sour cream, raw onions, etc) and Enjoy!
