Reviews
Best chili I have made
Absolutely delicious! I did make a couple of changes, I omitted the additional salt since I used regular chicken broth and added a cilantro cube, I also did not use turmeric cuz I didn't have it. Lastly, I added an additional teaspoon of chipotle chili pepper.
Loved it! We added avocado on top just because we like it.
Pretty good.
I was a little skeptical about some of the spices but wow this chili is good. The only ingredient I substituted was diced tomatoes with chilies. This might be my new go-to chili recipe!
Delicious chili! At first, because of the amount of ingredients, I was a little hesitant to make it. But, I'm glad I did. The chili is quick, easy, and flavorful!
This is delicious and it definitely made me think fall. I will certainly make this again. I had cheese, sour cream and Fritos to serve it with but it was excellent on it's own and didn't need anything added to it. I think I prefer it to traditional chili.
I got my first Taste of Home magazine in the mail last week and saw this recipe. Jumped right in the truck and went to the store for what I didn't have then made it up. I stuck to the recipe except for adding two cooked and chopped Fresno and one cooked Jalapeno peppers to the pot. I just put the peppers in with the chicken breasts, covered and baked at 425 for 30 mins. Took the chili to a family gathering and it was very well received. I like my chili with a "whang" to it. If you don't, then don't go there with the peppers.
This is what chili is supposed to be. Rich, hearty and delicious. It's absolutely delicious with enough spices to be flavorful but not too much heat for my palate. I topped ours with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and some sliced green onions prior to serving. Delicious!
