     I made this recipe for a chili cook off for my husband's work and it won #1 out of 13 different recipes and earned my hubby and his co-workers a day off! I used 2 cans of pinto beans undrained, otherwise I followed the recipe. I was great! - 10/26/12

     I soaked the beans overnight. The next morning rinsed the beans, diced chicken (i used raw), diced onions and threw everything into the crock pot and it cooked all day. It was yummy and I froze the left overs into individual servings for homemade "TV" dinners - 1/16/11

     easy and delicious. I used two cans of beans (one red kidney and one black), and added a can of corn (all rinsed and drained) and a can of diced tomatoes (with liquid). to make up for the extra volume, I used two jars (16oz each) of salsa verde (an extra 3/4 cup), and didn't need to add any water. - 9/23/08

     AMAZING. IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES EVER. I ALSO USED THE CROCK POT. MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN I MADE THIS SO I AM MAKING IT AGAIN FOR HIM TO TRY. I KNOW HE'LL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DID. THANKS! - 11/23/09

     This was awesome. I used chopped jalapenos instead of chiles to add spice. Soooo good. - 12/29/09

     I used a mild salsa verde and omitted the chilis so my toddler could eat it. It was good, but I felt it was lacking something. Crushed tortilla chips may have been the answer, but I didn't have any. I will probably make it again and play with some changes because I think it has promise. - 9/14/09

     Added 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 gluten free chicken bouillon cubes, 1/4 tsp. dried crushed cilantro and 1 Tbsp. lime juice. This was pretty good. - 3/21/08
