This wasn't even close to chili. I ate the left overs at school and my students thought I was eating taco filling. The taste was bland.

This is an excellent recipe for a cross section of people. I make and serve for church meetings and always get compliments-and it's not me but this wonderful recipe. Delicious. I don't make any substitutions, but might try some of the suggestions others have made-then again, it's so good you don't have to do anything different!

I would give this more stars if I could. The only substitution I make is to use chili beans. I use Trader Joes Frozen Fire Roasted Bell Peppers and Onions (the whole bag) to save time. This recipe is so great, that I don't even add the chicken - it doesn't need it! My husband asks for this often, served up with Trader Joes Beer Bread. Mmmmm - thanks for the recipe!

Oh, super, delicious, wonderful!! Everything about this recipe is good! Next time I personally will probably use less chicken, and chop it smaller.
