This is really good. I modified a bit, used ground beef instead of chicken because I didnt have any cooked up and I prefer to use leftover chicken for this next time. Used my own chili spice mix instead of spices stated. Didn't use black beans, used extra kidney beans instead (3 or 4 cans kidney beans instead of beans stated). Didnt use diced tomatoes either since I did not have them on hand. Chili turned out good.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hello, all! Thanks to all the great recipes and tips from the community here at Recipezaar, I think I'm finally getting this whole cooking thing down!
FYI: When I review recipes, I take into account that I have to alter recipes so my BF will actually eat it - no mushrooms and no peppers! I realize this alters the taste slightly, but there's not much I can do about it if I don't want him to go on a hunger strike! I also try to use low fat and/or low cal alteratives. Gotta watch that waistline! :)
I always try to give a kind, thoughtful review, even if the recipe didn't work out for me.
