     If anyone is doing Weight Watchers along with the SparkPeople...this recipe has 4 points per serving, I am assuming a serving for this recipe is 1 cup. - 10/14/09

     Excellent recipe, but not thick enough...so I pureed ~2 of the 4 cans of beans with some of the broth to get some needed thickness. I substituted jalapenoes for green chilies (all that had) and doubled the cumin, cayenne, and chili powder. I omitted the cloves. Yummy! - 1/3/10

     Amazing! I added bell pepper with the onions and doubled the spices (except the salt). I followed the suggestion to puree 1/4 of it to get a thicker consistency. It made a huge amount - great for leftovers and it freezes well. I served it with pita chips the first night and cornbread after that. - 10/16/09

     I made this in my crockpot minus the corn. Went a little heavier on the chilis and added corriander and cillantro from the garden. It's a new family favorite, sooooooo yummy. - 10/14/09

     This was a very tasty chicken chili. I made the recipe according to the directions. I found the chili a little bland, so I doubled the spices and garlic. This gave it a nice little kick and just the right seasoning. Easy and delicious and healthy to boot! - 2/2/10

     I used dried beans to reduce the sodium content and leftover roasted chicken from the day before. I didn't use the cloves, but my family loved it! The lime was a great twist! Thanks!! - 10/26/09

     This was very good! I used ground turkey instead of chicken, and I added a can of tomatoes. I was a little afraid of the cloves, but I put them in anyway. The spices were really good, and the lime makes all the difference! I will definitely be making this again! - 1/19/10

     Very good! I've been looking for a chicken chili. The only thing I did different was leave out the ground cloves. - 10/26/09

     This was wonderful! It was thick enough for me so I didn't puree it. I did add one frozen pack of spinach and I think it helped thicken it up a bit. I didn't see where it said how much a serving size was, so I guessed that it was a 1 cup??? - 1/28/10
  • KICKINGCHICK
     I cooked the chicken and then throw all it in my crock pot. Turned out great. Even my kids ate some. - 11/2/09

     This was a great soup to make for our first fall like weather in Florida. I did not add the cayenne pepper, I must admit I am a baby for hot spicies. I did thicken the soup and loved it. I found I like green chilis. New item for me to try in other receipes. I will be making this alot. Thanks:) - 10/21/09

     At my sister's suggestion I cut the recipe in half for just me and added Green Taco sauce or salsa the kind w/ tomatillos - 4 oz for half the recipe - it is even better after it sits. This is great. (I didn't add any salt - just a little when I served it.) - 2/17/10

     Added one can of chicken broth(instead of 2), ond can of no salt corn(instead of frozen), have bottled chopped garlic always on hand in the frig so a tablespoon of that and bottled jalepenos about 1/4 of a cup for color and heat.
    The guys loved it! - 1/30/10
  • CORKEROO
     Very good and filling. I used white northern beans instead. Using the kroger private select organic cans of beans resulted in a bit less sodium. I added 3 T reduced-fat sour cream on top of each serving - Yum. Next time, I'll add something to add a bit more heat to it - a little more cumin (?) - 1/17/10

     Just finished my bowl of chili and it was delicious!!! I had to substitute the listed beans for what I had (no salt added pinto beans) and it was still incredibly yummy! - 1/25/10

  • BGNRSLADY
     Husband and daughter loved it, i made it with vegetable broth and i added Mrs Dash and some poultry seasoning. I used 2 cans of cannelloni beans and 2 cans of the red kidney beans for color. I topped it with cheese, tomatoes, and celery.next time i will use the crock pot with the dried beans - 1/2/10

     We LOVE Chicken Chili but never thought of using white beans. They have less fat! I am going to make this today. Thank you! - 12/30/09
  • JANESMISSION
     Awesome. I didn't have green chilies so I used Ancho chilies, great smokey flavor. - 11/15/09
  • SCHULDIG09
     I experimented a little with the ingredients (sorry but I am not grating garlic cloves), but it turned out very delicious and filling. Definitely a keeper. - 10/20/09

     Hubby doesn't like spicy foods but he gave this an 8 out of 10 and said he would eat it again. It seemed to make only 8 cups which to my way of thinking is 8 servings and 339 calories per serving. - 2/16/10
