The prep work for this chili is easy thanks to several pantry staples. It’s loaded with shredded chicken and beans. The spicy heat can be tamed a bit by cool sour cream. —Fred Lockwood, Plano, Texas

Made for company, as it looked yummy and easy. It was easy to prepare, but it wasn't a show stopper. Two of the six adults didn't finish their first bowl. Great concept, but not sure I'll make again.

This is a great recipe. I made it on a very cold day it is spicy and my family loved it. I came home to check on it and i could smell it outside the house, it smell s wonderful. It is very thick my kids used it as a dip the next day with some tortilla chips. Wouldnt change a thing i followed the recipe exactly as is.

Being from the Southwest I love Green Chile. But don't use those neon green, green chiles from a tin can. They are terrible. For best flavor El Pinto Green Chile Sauce or El Pinto Chopped Green Chile is the best around and most likely in your local grocery. Look for it with salsa.

I love the combination of the slow-cooked vegetables and the sour cream! I lightened up the recipe with fat-free sour cream, and made more of a "christmas" (i.e. red and green) version since I had red peppers and regular salsa on hand. But it was still great! Really hearty, and a nice combination of flavors.
