Simple and tasty! I even added the chicken whole and 1/2 frozen then shredded it at the end.

So good. Nice and hearty and thick. Excited to make again for football tomorrow. I did not use onions as I dislike them, and just substituted some onion powder.

Really very easy and very good. I wasn't sure how salsa would work in chilli but this works. It's just a tad bland for chili but that's what makes it work so well for the kids to eat it too.

I was surprised how good this tasted. It was also so simple to make which makes it even better bing a full time mom of a 14 yr old and an 8 year plus I work part time and go to Culinary school full time! The chicken was full of flavor and was so moist! I used chicken breats though.

Recipe is very easy to toss together, but since I am a low sodium consumer, I used reduced sodium beans and left out the prepared salsa and added chopped tomatos and jalepenos, cumin, garlic powder and more chili powder. It tasted yummy

Delicious as is! I used a medium salsa instead of mild and threw in a bit of jalapeno. We poured the chili over tortilla chips and made nachos and everyone came back for more. I will definately make this again.

Pretty decent for a crock pot recipe. Not as bland as other slow cooker chili recipes. I would make this again and it's really easy to prepare in the morning before work so that it's ready when you come home.

I knew my husband would love this but thought for sure the kids would hate it. They are picky and one especially never eats anything with corn or beans in it, yet they all loved it!! I was so surprised and will make this over and over again.

This was a great chili. The only thing is I didnt add a lot of chicken, next time I will though. But it was overall very good

If you like chunky, this is your chili. Very quick and easy to make which is another plus. Will definitely be making this again.
