The changing weather, colors, and foods are why I love autumn. But there is one must in this recipe box every fall, and that is the Fall Chicken Chili. The blend of colorful vegetables, chili-seasoned chicken and warming spices match the relaxing day bundled under blankets and watching Hallmark movies.
Excited to see this recipe featured in this month’s Kirkwood Lifestyle Magazine.
