Southwestern Chicken Chili

"I adapted this recipe from a the oct 05 Cooking Light for an impromptu dinner party. I personally want to do more modifying but I got such rave reviews I felt I would share the recipe as it stands. Don't let the coffee scare ya off ;) It doubles well and tastes good topped with cheddar and served with crescent rolls."

  1. I made this for my family of 5, and it wasn't nearly enough food (even after I added a can of beans). I also think it lacked complexity and was just a bit too spicy for most of us. It was easy. If I made this again, I would probably completely double it to make enough food. It also took quite a bit of extra time to thicken, but I don't recall how much.
     
  2. Tried to adapt this one for the crockpot but may have added too much chicken broth. Very good.
     
  3. Great recipe for chicken breasts! The ingredients come together so well and taste so good. Made as posted and wouldn't change a thing. Served with fresh bread and a green salad, made for a lovely evening meal. Adding this one to my weekend meals folder!
     
  4. We really enjoyed this recipe. DH does not care for very spicey dishes (unlike me!) He said this was one of the best chilis that he has eaten, because the spice was just right, and not over-powering.Thanks Umberle I will definately make this again!
