Crockpot White Chicken Chili

February is a tough month when it comes to weather. It’s typically one of the coldest months of the year.

If you’re in southern California then you don’t know what I’m talking about. But for the rest of us, it’s a month of tempestuous wind, snow, sleet, hail, and rain sprinkled with some sunshine here and there.

Recipes like these help make those colder days more bearable. It won’t require a lot of thought or prep or cleanup. In my mind, that makes for a great recipe.
