This was delicious! Like many who’ve reviewed this recipe, I cut back the water to 3 cups rather than 5, but used chicken broth in place of the water. Added just a little more to the flavor. I could not find dried chipotle peppers, so I used the canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Those can be found in the ethnic foods area of most grocery stores. The last thing that I did that was not on the original recipe is add a 15 oz can of tomato sauce at the end were you’d add the remaining water if you were to use it. I’ve been telling friends and family about this recipe, including one friend who has wheat allergies. Totally making this again.

Awesome recipe. Everyone loved it! I didn't use chipotle and doubled the chili powder. I also cut the water down to 3 cups and used an extra can of beans and skipped the corn. This one's definitely a keeper!

This made a great black bean soup...it was not thick enough, in my opinion, to be called Chili. But, it was delicious.

This was so GOOD! The flavor was perfect and the black beans went well with the chicken. It was even better the next day.

Spice island has ground chipotle chili so I used that instead of grinding my own. Other than that I followed the recipe as written and my family all wanted seconds. Only the kids had the sour cream to cut the spice. this is absolutely fabulous!

Delicious! Husband raved about it too. It has a nice kick, but not too much. Only gave 4 stars since I felt 5 cups of water would have made this soup rather than chili. I listened to the other reviewers and cut back on the water by 2 cups. Also, didn't find or use the chipotle but felt it was delicious without it. Will DEFINITELY make again and have shared this recipe with other family members.

Good recipe! Thanks for sharing. I didn't have green pepper so just did a whole onion. I used Penzey's Adobo spices instead of the cumin/pepper etc. We topped with grated cheese and lite sour cream. Very easy and my husband went back for a big bowl of seconds.

This is a great chicken chili! It is very tasty and hearty. My boyfriend said it was the best. I didn’t use the chipotle pepper, corn, or green pepper sauce, because I did not have. I substituted a can of diced tomatoes for the paste. I followed previous reviews and only used 3 cups of water and added chicken bouillon with the water. I also added a chopped jalapeno. Will definitely make again!

Fabulous. I only had green pepper, onion and garlic. Did not use chipotle only cayenne and chili powder. I did add an additional can of stewed tomatoes and more beans as I like pretty hearty. It was really yummy!Use plenty of fresh cilantro.Great recipe!

The flavor of this dish was amazing. I withheld the five star rating (although its a 4.99999) because the consistency wasn't what I was hoping for in a chili. I will definitely make this again and adjust the water content to find the thickness that I prefer. Very Good!!!

This recipe is, hands down, the best chili I have *ever* tasted. I pared down the water to a total of 3 cups instead of 5, and couldn't find a chili pepper, so just upped the powder. I intended to submit a photo but we ate the entire batch so quickly that it'll have to wait until the next time we make it! Thanks for sharing!

This recipe was very, very tasty and my husband said it was a definite repeat. One suggestion, though: right after you brown the chunks of chicken, remove them with a slotted spoon into a medium/large bowl and shred them. Then return them to the pot and continue as normal. I strongly endorse this for a hearty mid-winter meal.

This truly was a yummy chili, I just think, as others have noted before me, that the recipe needs to be changed because 5 cups is just too much water for a chili consistency. I simmered for an hour and still couldn't get it to look like chili! It still makes a delicious soup!

very good, made this on a couple occasions. i omitted the corn and replaced it with a can of diced tomatoes, and i would also suggest omitting a cup or two of the water.

I didn't use the corn but cut up a can of stewed tomatoes - it really enhanced the flavor. Also used 2 cans of black beans and no red - we love blackbeans! I used the maximum on all the spices and used others suggestions to use only 1 cup of water on the 2nd addition. Very good chili.

This is a very delicious chili. I loved that it contained chicken for a nice twist and the 2 types of beans added nice color with the corn & peppers. Very colorful. I happen to enjoy a very spicy chili so I added about 1/2 tbl. more chili powder, 1/2 tbl more cayenne pepper, 2 diced jalapenos & 1 tsp more cumin powder. I also found the chili to be a little too runny because of all the water. I simmered for an extra 20 minutes and it was still "soupier" then I prefer. Next time, I would add 3 cups during the first step adding water in the recipe but I would only add 1 cup in the second step adding water in the recipe. I served it by topping with sliced jalapenos, sour cream, shredded mexican cheese & chopped cilantro. Will make again...

I made a few changes to this one. I actually won a Chili cookoff with this. Instead of the Green Sauce, I added Diced Green Chili's. It was a hit! The flavor was wonderful!!
