This is a nice way to have the flavour of chili without always using red meat. This can also be served as a filling for tacos!

I also cooked this in my crockpot. However, I omitted the mushrooms and celery because I was pressed for time and found those 2 ingredients unnecessary anyway. I doubled the amount of kidney beans and added one small can of tomato sauce so that the crock pot would at least be 2/3 full... The chicken was grilled in the electric grilling machine - no plug here for brand of appliance used:)!!!! Then it was topped with sliced green onions and a dollop of sour cream. The piece de resistance: good ol' cornbread.... YES! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Read More

This was a very good recipe - it lasted me for lunch and dinner (2 bowls each time). It struck me as a little unusual since without the tomato sauce/paste so common to other chili recipes it was a little more like a chicken-vegetable stew than a soup/chili. The extra minutes spent in sauteing the vegetables and browning the chicken paid off in enhancing the flavors I think. I wasn't expecting there to be enough chicken in this recipe but it was plenty as it turned out. It wasn't very hot but the spice mixture was very tasty. I think I'll make this for The Woman I Love someday soon. Thanks for a great recipe. Read More

This was so good! I used two chicken breasts which i boiled and then shredded by hand. I used a 28 oz can of chunky tomatos and a small can of tomato paste. I also added a can of sweet corn. Instead of chili powder i used chili sauce which may be the reason i got a sweet sauce can't think of what else caused it to be sweet maybe the tomato paste??...but in any case it was great! My Husband loved it!!! Read More

Nice tasting recipe. I used TVP instead of chicken and it was really good. Red pepper tasted better than green used a little less onion on second recipe little better that way. Didn't like crunch of celery so added carrots second try little smoother. Spices were a good combo could not taste cocoa powder maybe just deepens color a bit. Nice recipe to adjust spice on just add more crushed red pepper or cayenne if you want it hotter. Read More

We made this at a cooking circle yesterday. We used chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 lbs) and a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes. I added a tsp of sugar to cut the acidity and a little extra garlic salt chili powder and cumin. I also had it with shredded cheddar over top. It was great and I will probably make it again.
