My husband really enjoyed this chili. I took the advice of others here, and made some changes. I used only 1/2 TBS of italian seasoning, 2 cans of Ro-Tel instead of the tomatoes and chilis, black beans instead of kidney, and next time I will use 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth, as it was a bit dry. I also did not pre-cook the chicken, but cooked all the ingredients in the crock pot for about six hours, rather than the recommended three. Nice for a cold day!

This was a nice alternative to beef chili. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. Definately worth a try!

This recipe was overpowered by the chili seasoning creating a "store bought" flavor. Suggest using only half packet or creating one using spices separately. Also, two cans of whole tomatoes was unappetizing. Perhaps one can of whole and one can of crushed would help. I have a family that eats just about everything. They asked that I not repeat this one. Won't be making this again.

Very good recipe, but without the Italian seasoning. Very simple to make. Thanks!

I put this together last-minute for a football watch party. It was FANTASTIC! I only had 2 cans of black beans, so I used that instead of the kidney and chili beans. I also used 2 cans of Ro-Tel in place of the canned tomatoes and canned chiles. Finally, just due to personal preference, I only used about a tablespoon of diced onion. This was delicious and was even better the next day as leftovers!

This was ok- I ate it and it was filling, but it could use more of something. We ate it with light sour cream, some sharp cheddar and tortilla chips.

This was OK, I made the recipe as is and agree that it was a little bland, however, I just added quite a bit (I don't measure) of chicken seasoning and it helped it out a little. I will make it again, but I will add differnt seasonings.

Overall this was a satisfying and very healthy meal! It really couldn't have been any easier to prepare. The only changes I made were: I used chicken stock instead of water since I had some to use up, I added a little red wine, added one minced habanero pepper w/out the seeds, and after it was done cooking I was a little dissapointed since it looked more like a soup with chunks of chicken in it so I shredded the chicken and it looked more like a traditional chili. The chicken was so soft it literally just fell apart when I smooshed it with the spoon I was using to stir it. It is a very hearty and healthy meal!! I served it with sour cream, cheese, and biscuits.
