this is the same recipe as listed on McCormick's site, I use about 4-5 cups of cubed chicken sauteed in the onions from the beginning, I always triple the spices and green chilis, at least 2 cans of beans and broth to your taste and thickness, This is soooooooooo good!!! I have been making this for years. Enjoy!!

It turned out really tasty, but I felt like it needed more veggies. The next time I make it I'll add some diced tomatoes and celery, for starters. I did a few minor adjustments with this recipe, which included adding some fresh squeezed lime, a bit of chili powder, more cumin and cayenne, and I subsituted chopped garlic for the garlic powder. I also sauteed my chicken in the cumin, and lime prior to adding the rest of the ingredients. I simmered it for an hour before adding the beans. I still felt it was a bit soupy towards the end so I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. I will definitely make this again. Thank you!

Yum! This was very good, and very easy! I'm going to double the recipe next time so that I can have leftovers, and add a little salt to it because even with all the seasonings, it was a tad bland. Thanks for a keeper!
