Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
When I want a warm, comforting meal that practically cooks itself, I turn to my Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili.

This recipe is naturally dairy-free using canned coconut milk, which adds a creamy texture without a coconut flavor.

I love chopping up butternut squash, onion, garlic, carrot, and apples, then adding them to my slow cooker with vegetable broth and spices.
