“People who have tasted this thick mix of beans, spices and chicken say: 'So good it'll make you perky and stupid!' I've placed in my workplace's annual Halloween chili cook-off for the last three years. Looks strange -- tastes great! Serve with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and warm flour tortillas.” - by MELLOWMARSHMOMMA

"I hate the reviews that state: this was a great/awful recipe, but I didn't follow any of the directions or use any of the right ingredients. That said, I love this recipe. However, I use about 4..." See more-5 cloves garlic in place of the powder, double the chilies and add celery. I also saute the garlic, onion, celery, and chilies, add the broth and boil the chicken in the broth. (Because of this, I usually add a few cups more broth.) When the chicken is cooked, I shred it and put it back in the broth and add the beans. I also mash up some of the beans for a thicker soup. I've made this the night before, refrigerated and heated in a slow cooker the next morning. It's very yummy. This is excellent for left overs also."

"Excellent Recipe. I replaced one can of green chili's with a can of jalepenos instead, and it added even more spunk to this recipe. I added garlic as well.. because I love it! This was great, and it s..." See moreat in my crock pot for 6 hourss on low and maintained perfectly all day. Great as a leftover too. One recommendation *** drain the beans so the slimy consistency is gone, replace liquid by using the remainder of the chicken broth(I used a whole can of fat free chicken broth), then use your blender or a fork to mash the last 2 cans before adding them in."

"This was a really good chicken chili. My family loved it! I always read reviews and make a few changes based on what I read. Here is what I did: I made this in the crock pot so I used whole chicken..." See more breasts. They were easy to shred at the end which gave the chicken the texture I wanted. I also added more garlic, cumin and oregano. I find that any dish with beans often needs more spice when it cookes so long. I added a can of Rotel Tomatos (spiced up chopped tomatoes) to it as well. Before adding the beans, I drained them and rinsed them. I always drain and rinse canned beans before using them. I served this with white rice (my husband and son like chili on rice) and grated cheddar cheese."
