This recipe deserves a 2.5 stars. It's hard to believe I'm reviewing the same recipe that has gotten such stellar ratings because this recipe was mediocre at best. Maybe I did something wrong? I made a few alterations to the recipe but nothing too crazy. First of all, I slow cooked the chicken with all the spices including minced fresh garlic instead of garlic powder(4 breasts) with one jar of salsa on its own and shared the same experience as a few of the other reviewers in my crock pot burning up on the sides. Took awhile to scrape my pot clean too! The chicken was kind of on the charred side after that! I was able to salvage the majority of the meat though, discarding the crispy edges. Then I added the pinto beans (3 cans), diced chiles (1 can), an extra jar of salsa, and a can of enchilada sauce and let it simmer on high for 2 hours. The result was "chili" that tasted like Hormel, straight out of the can but who was I fooling? The majority of the ingredients WERE out of a can, I just expected it to taste more homemade since it took FOREVER to cook. I'm NEVER making this recipe again. If I want a good chili I'll make the "Fantastic Black Bean Chili" that is also on this site and is as "fantastic" as its name implies. Glad some of you enjoyed this recipe though!
