Recipe Description
Southwest Chicken Pumpkin Chili made in the slow cooker with shredded chicken breasts, black beans, hot salsa, and pumpkin puree simmered in chicken stock. This chili is full of flavor, not too spicy, and healthy!
You can’t really taste the pumpkin in this pumpkin chili, it’s there more to help thicken the chili and make it healthier.
