I call this Summer Chicken Stew, not only because it is chock-full of the flavors of the season, but also because it is cooked using a slow cooker, perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to heat up the house.

Navajo Green Chile Pork and a Book Review
Last month our Sunday Funday blogging group celebrated Navajo Code Talkers Day. I shared a recipe for Marinated Venison Steaks and gave a little background about the Navajo Code Talkers.
Our host for that event, Amy of Amy's Cooking Adventures, mentioned that she had read a Memoir written by one of the Code Talkers. I immediately ordered it up at the library.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
These pears, made in a slow cooker, make your house smell delicious and free you up for prepping and serving dinner without having to worry about dessert. When ready to serve place in a bowl and add a scoop of ice cream. Life doesn't get much easier or more delicious than that.
