Wonderful recipe! I left out a lot of what it calls for just because I didn't have it at the house. I left out all of the peppers, the stewed tomatoes, and used 2 cans of black beans instead of both types. It still came out really wonderful! My husband loves it! I would suggest with the recipe ingredients here, using less chicken broth, as the whole carton made it really soupy. I had to thicken it some with water and flour. Still a fantastic chili though!

This is THE BEST chili I have ever made. Wonderful spicy flavor. I used the white meat from a deli rotisserie chicken. My guys (husband and teenage boys) ate until their eyes bulged and then wanted the left overs for dinner the next night! A keeper!!
