This is one of the best chili recipes I've ever eaten. The seasonings were perfect and the flavor was excellent, not overpowering or too hot. Since it was the first time I had ever made it, I followed the recipe exactly, and would not make any changes now. I served it with a little bit of shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and corn bread.

This was fabulous! I substituted ground turkey instead of chicken breasts and I added a little bit of mozzarella cheese and a tad bit of flour to thicken it a little. The flavors blended together perfectly! Better yet, it makes for even yummier leftovers! Thanks for a great recipe, definitely a keeper :)
