Warm up and stay on plan with our Slow Cooker Pumpkin Chicken Chili recipe. In a few steps, you’ll have a hearty meal perfect for the fall weather.

Pumpkin adds a unique autumn twist to a delicious chili. Filled with fire roasted green chilis and jalapenos, this recipe packs some serious heat. However, feel free to cool it down with low fat cream cheese as a creamy option. Best of all, you can forget your pots and pans and throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker. Slow cookers are one of our favorite appliances here at Nutrisystem. Click here to find out why you need one! >

To make your chili, grab your slow cooker and combine raw chicken breast, white beans, pumpkin puree, canned diced tomatoes and green chilis, chopped onions and jalapenos, chicken broth and spices. Put on the lid and cook on high for about four hours, then shred the chicken. If you want to make your chili creamy, add in some low fat cream cheese, cover and cook for another 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
