Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken Chili

I love crockpot meals!  It is perfect for busy mom or dads.  It is even more perfect for a person who has to be at work all day!  Who wants to come home after a long day at work and cook?  Not me.  It is the perfect way to prepare dinner for you or for the whole family.  Put the stuff in the crockpot in the morning and come home at dinner time to a delicious smelling house and a fully prepared meal.  *sigh* ahhhhhhhh........ No pots and pans.  Just the crockpot and the dishes you ate with.  Pop them in the dishwasher and you are done!

This crockpot meal is one of my all time favorites.  It puts a nice spin on the chili.  Please let me know if you try it!  I'd love to hear your thoughts.
