Is it just me, or does this winter feel extra chilly? 

What was the deal with the polar vortex? YIKES. 

I feel like Old Man Winter is being rather stubborn and refuses to politely exit. Well, the joke may be on him because things are going to heat up soon. With spring and a certain basketball situation in just a few weeks, it’s going to feel like a heat wave. 

And speaking of heating things up, I have the best dish to make while you are perched in front of the TV with your family and friends cheering on your favorite team. This Easy Chicken & Chorizo Chili is my current favorite when it comes to one-pot meals. BUT! What makes this chili so flipping easy to put together and taste delicious is the Curly’s BBQ Sauceless Pulled Chicken. 

The hickory-smoked pulled chicken gives the chili a depth of flavor without sacrificing time. You can add it to so many dishes and the chicken will absorb the flavor creating a mouthwatering experience. With the Easy Chicken & Chorizo Chili all you have to do is make the base of the chili using a few simple ingredients and then mix in the sauceless pulled chicken. Easy peasy.
