Corn and black beans give this satisfying chili Mexican flair the whole family will love. Adjust the cayenne if you have small children or are looking for a little less zip. Stephanie Rabbitt-Schappacher — West Chester, Ohio

I have made this recipe several times and my whole family loves it. I always make this recipe as is because it is delicious just the way it was written. I did make one minor change the last time I made this by shredding the chicken. My family preferred it shredded. I don't feel this alternative "chili" needs more beans as it is more of a stew than a traditional chili. Yummy!!

After browning the chicken breast in one piece, I threw it in the slow cooker and stirred in the rest of the ingredients (doubling the beans) and added two cloves of garlic. After tasting a few hours later, it seemed to be a little bland. DH was able to bring out some flavor by adding 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1 teaspoon of his homemade roasted chili powder and a bit of black pepper. With those additions, the favors came out great. About an hour before serving, I shredded the chicken and returned it to the pot. I did think, however, that it was a little too watery for chili. Next time I'll probably cut the chicken broth down to a cup. By the way, this makes a bunch of chile, probably because of the additional beans. We got eight servings from this recipe.

I used a combo of Penzey's 3000,9000,ancho and McCormicks chili powders, added a bay leaf, did not drain the beans, used Hunts roasted diced tomatoes with green pepper, onion, celery and garlic, a can of mexican diced tomatoes undrained, 1 T. of orrington chicken base. The chicken I used was off a roasted chicken from the grocery store deli. This was a good basic recipe that can be changed to suit individual tastes. I will make again!!

I cooked the chicken in the slow cooker overnight, shredded it then added the remaining ingredients. Served it with small pieces of soft tortillas for crackers. Delicious!

I made this recipe as is... I honestly would omit the chicken in this recipe next time. You have to cook it ahead of time & by the time the whole thing was done, the chicken was dry & disgusting...

Day 1: Seemed a little too spicy for me, so I would probably cut down on my cayenne pepper next time.

Day 2: Took out all of the chicken & it was excellent. The spice calmed down a bit so it was a lot easier to eat.

Overall, the taste is great & I will be making this one again!!

This was easy to make and delicious to eat. I omitted to cayenne pepper because if my little ones but as with most recipes I get from Taste of Home, my family gobbled it up!

Delicious! Added a can of pinto beans, left out the cumin, but added a dash of fajita seasoning. Will make again and may try with steak next time.

This was really easy to make. I used some leftover turkey that I had frozen from a previous meal. My husband and I really liked it and I will definitly make it again.

Outstanding recipe!!! I made my first (and certainly not my last) batch after reading reviews suggesting to add a second can of beans -- which I did, and glad to have done so! My family really loves spicy dishes so I used a tablespoon of cayenne. Shredded sharp cheddar cheese went great when sprinkled on top too!

I'm a wimp when it comes to hot stuff so I left out the cayenne pepper and I added a can of drained and rinsed kidney beans. It was awesome. I love recipes with flavor that explodes in your mouth and this one fits the bill. I think it would be equally good with cubed beef instead of chicken. Very easy to make and well worth doing!
