    This is easily converted to the crock pot by putting it all in and simmering all day then shredding the chicken before serving. I also soaked dried beans overnight and tossed in freshly cubed potatoes instead of canned. I tripled the recipe (we have a 14-yo boy) and added some Italian seasoning. - 8/8/09

    Wow, that is a LOT of sodium per serving! Substitute "no-salt added" tomato products, and thoroughly rinse the canned goods to help with that. - 8/8/09

    This would be great for in the Crock Pot with dried beans. Soak beans, then add all other ingredients, turn on low and cook for hours. Sounds Great. Thanks. - 8/8/09

    Very easy and very good. Made lots of food and can easily be doubled. Can't complain when you pretty much pour everything straight out of the cans - and have a healthy meal. - 7/12/08

    Sound tasty and healthy--plenty of fiber, but would *never* use canned potatoes! Many canned goods are great, like the rest in the recipe. But sometimes, if you don't use fresh, frozen can be a better option. I much prefer frozen black eyed peas to canned. But, your choice, of course. - 11/13/09

    Very similar to a white chicken chili I've made. But the potatoes aren't really necessary. Extra vegies like bells peppers and onions, and a can of chopped chilie peppers really jazz it up - 11/13/09

    I will make this with frozen vegetables to nix all that sodium & I will leave out black & garbanzo beans since I don't like them. Lots of fiber and protein ~ the more beans you eat, the less gas you experience, esp if you eliminate yeast from your diet :) - 8/10/09

    Very filling but not saucy enough. Will probably make again using additional tomatoes. - 11/17/09

    I have a recipie really similar to this one but I never used garbanzo beans before, so I'll have to give that a try. I also used fresh ingredients where I could because of the sodium, but everything sounds really great! - 11/15/09

    I watch my sodium as well so at first I was hesitant. Then it hit me--with the correct portion size it was no problem, especially considering I'd probably have it every now and then. Glad I figured it out. What a great recipe!!! - 11/13/09
