I added an additional can of cannellini beans because I really think this recipe needs more beans. The only other change I will make the next time I make this is that I will drain and rinse the black beans but keep the liquid from the tomatoes and one of the cans of cannellini beans. I ended up adding more chicken broth than the recipe called for and would have preferred the thickness of the bean liquid instead. Everyone has their own preferred thickness when it comes to chili though so use your own judgement there. This was super simple with no fuss and you really can't go wrong with this recipe.
this is pretty much my usual chicken/turkey/ground beef quick chili - there are some things I do different I like a thicker base so I process a mix of cannelli northern white black beans into paste and add it to the broth. I also dont add sour cream to the pot I dollop on top when the chili is in it's bowl:) The thing with Chili though - is you have to make it to suit your tastes. My measurements for spices (usually by eye because it just works for me) are much different because I know my family's tastes... so look at your spices and decide to add or omit ramp the amounts up or tone them down. I'd try this on the stove first with leftover cooked chicken to get your spices and seasonings they way you want them to taste - and you can taste test as you cook to get them just right. This way you'll know what you like when you use the slow cooker method. Finally if you use the slow cooker and canned beans the slow cooker can make things a bit mushy if you want firmer beans add them later..... This recipe is a great guide to YOUR best chili. A Great Easy recipe! thanks for posting!
The taste was fine however next time I will add an extra can of beans and reduce the amount of chicken broth. I also will not add the sour cream until the end as it curdles when you add it at the beginning
This was tasty and easy to make. I had a little extra black beans in mine as I had some I wanted to use up. As per the Cook's Notes I used plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it worked out well.
Great slow cooker recipe! I used chicken strips and added a can of Blackeye Peas to add some southern flare. Also put chicken in crockpot first then add the spices and stir to season the chicken! I also added a little poultry seasoning maybe 1/2 teaspoon. Then add the tomatoes beans and liquid broth on top and stir them keeping chicken near the bottom. In 6-7hrs the chicken will virtually shred itself! Enjoy!!
Very bland I added An extra can of kidney beans a can of rotel tomatoes and one extra chicken breast. I thought I added enough spice but I guess not. Once you added all the chilli fixings sour cream cheese and chips it was okay but if I make it again I may use a chilli seasoning mix or something. Easy Weeknight dinner though
We did this using ground chicken which I browned first before continuing with the recipe. I also used an extra can of cannellini beans. We enjoyed it.
Delicious! Add some sour cream and shredded cheese and eat with tortilla chips.
I made it according to the recipe. It was very bland so part way through I added a lot more spices. It may have been because I used more chicken than it called for. Then it was very tasty. If I make it again I don't think I will drain the beans or tomatoes.
