A simple, slow simmered chicken chili. The crock pot does a great job of melding the flavors. Adding salsa at the end gives it a spicy boost.

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
2 cans (15 ounce size) Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
3 tablespoons finely diced jalapeno peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 cups salsa, your choice of heat
Combine all the ingredients in the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or until the ingredients are heated through and the flavors are melded.
Serve hot with fresh-baked cornbread.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Needed more jalapeno in my opinion to be called "jalapeno" chili. The two tbsp is rather overshadowed by all the beans. I added more after assembling and tasting it. Overall had decent flavor just needed more heat to live up to its name.

When I first started assembling this I was afraid it was going to be on the bland side. It seemed very bean-heavy which without flavorings wouldn't be too interesting. However, once the salsa was added it really took shape. You can also definitely add more jalapeno (it's in the name, afterall). I added only one (a large, Texas sized one) and really it wasn't that noticeable. I did use a good zesty salsa though so the dish had plenty of heat.
