Ive made this several times and eaxh time I love it even more! This is the best chicken chili recipe I have found to date. I love spicy foods so I added a little more pepper sause and cumin to it but the flavor it awesome.

So how much chicken do you think if you use chicken breasts instead--still pretty new to cooking!

I have been making this exact recipe for a couple of years now. The entire family loves it. Usually my husband teases me that the quantity I make in a crock pot is enough for a small army and that he gets tired of eating the same thing for 3 nights. Not with this recipe. It usually gets eaten the same night I make it. I cook bone in, with skin thighs overnight in the crock pot since they are cheaper that the skinless. Then after cooling, I pull them apart and put the meat back in with all of the ingredients and simmer half a day. Sometimes I throw a can of hominy in too. Very much a keeper recipe.

I have made this for the family several times with some changes each time, adding or deleting ingredients. The term "chili" in the title is not appropriate if prepared as shown. I have added chopped celery and bell peppers. I also add a step by sautéing the onion, garlic, celery and peppers in some butter and olive oil. Just when they begin to soften I add some flour which helps to thicken the broth. My family prefers a milder chili than I do so I add extra hot sauce after serving to give it more of a kick.

I have cooked many different recipes...but this is one of my families most favorite. I did add heavy whipping cream to make it a little richer and doubled the recipe so there would be leftovers. AWESOME!!!
