I got this wonderful recipe from my sister-in-law, who made a big batch and served a crowd one night. It was a hit. Plus, it's easy and quick, which is helpful since I'm a college student. In all my years of 4-H cooking, I've never had another dish get so many compliments. —Laura Brewer, Lafayette, Indiana

I make this quite often and every time I do, even folks (like my mother) who swear they don't like chicken chili, love it. I think it is absolutely perfect, the only change I make is using fresh garlic and toasting and grinding my own cumin seeds. Love Love Love this.

I love this recipe, although one time I made the mistake of adding jalapenos (cans were virtually identical) instead of the chilies which made it way too hot for my taste, but the rest of the group loves spicy food so it ended up working out! I have made it several times since then and everyone loves it!

didn't like it - too creamy, too rich - i didn't feel good after having it. sour cream & whipping cream is overkill. would've been better with just whipping cream.

Even using only 1 can of green chilies, it was much too hot for us. Did not like at all.

Phenomenal!!!! I'm not normally a huge chili fan. This is definitely going on my favorites list! :D

WOW - used fresh garlic, added 2 tlb fresh cilantro, and rotisserie chicken (rather than cooking my own). Made day in advance - so it sat in the fridge one day - wow, was awesome and SOOOOO easy..Thanks a million

Outstanding! I made this and took the leftovers to work...everyone asked for the recipe and a couple of people went home and made it that night! I did make a couple of small changes. I used fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder and because I didn't have any heavy cream I substituted a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese. This was soooooo good! Can't wait to make it again. Thank you for this recipe.

I got this recipe from taste of home years ago and everyone loves it there are never any leftovers. We like it with tortilla chips instead of crackers or bread. Have shared it with church because everyone wants this recipe.
