Who else loves a Shredded Chicken Chili crockpot meal for your family? If you ask me, there is nothing better than walking in from a busy day to a home cooked meal that you threw in the crockpot earlier that day. The aroma alone is worth it! Especially for this easy meal! And what I love about this Easy Shredded Chicken Chili is that you can easily make it keto friendly too, by simply leaving the beans out. It used to be one of my go to meals when I was learning about the Keto Diet. Shredded Chicken Chili is amazing the way that I have it outlined below with beans. However, leave them out if you are trying to do lower carb or keto and this hands down will be one of your favorite easy crockpot (or stove top)meals!
In the whirlwind of a crazy, busy mama's life, time-saving solutions become indispensable. I know know about you, but if I can save time and put that energy where I desire it the most around the table with my family I am here for it! Easy Dump and Go crockpot meals like this are the magic to hectic schedules and allow you to reclaim the table with your sweet family around the table creating precious memories while you share a home cooked meal together that you didn't have to spend a ton of time on.
So if you answered yes to easy crockpot meals, then this is one you will want to make and put on rotation for your family! Its delicious and is a perfect variation from a plain ole' chili night! And its the perfect weather for this easy crockpot meal too.
If you don't have a crockpot, where have you been? You can grab this family sized digital one HERE or I have also included a quick variation to this recipe over the stove top!
