"Although this recipe uses nice white chicken breasts, I prefer to use thighs because they hold up better to crockpot cooking. This chili gets body from slightly mashed beans and flavor from the usual Mexican suspects: chile peppers, cumin seeds, and cayenne pepper. Altogether it is a very flavorsome, delicious chili, sure to warm you on a cold night. Recipe from BH&G."
