Reviewed on Oct. 27, 2007 by SUNIDE    Another Cook off winner to add to this recipe. I doctored it a bit too: I used the jar of Salsa verde, extra green chili's, fire roasted diced tomatoes, LOTS of cumin, and some chili powder as well. I heated the spices in the oil before adding both cubed and ground chicken. I used the ground chicken for texture - more traditional chili style, and added a touch a cream. MMmmmm. Thanks to other reviews, I was ready with the corn starch to thicken it up so it wasn't as soupy. I would like to say I loved it - but, by time I made my way back to the table to have some, it was GONE. I don't think it lasted 15 minutes!! I WILL cook this again, I would like to have more than just a sample spoon full... Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

Reviewed on May 16, 2007 by ARYQA    I could not find canned tomatillos, so I used a jar of salsa verde instead, as suggested by other reviewers. Also, I did not have any chicken already cooked, so I used cubed raw chicken and allowed the chicken, broth, tomato, green chiles, & spices mixture to simmer until the chicken was tender. This made a nice hearty chili - not much broth. Since I prefer it thinner, I added another can of broth and doubled the spices at the end, but the taste was great before I made those alterations. Loved the chili. I will note that I was unsure of the addition of the salsa verde, so I waited until the recipe called for the addition of the corn/beans until I added it. Tasted before and after and I really think the salsa made this recipe. The flavor was excellent prior to the addition, but had no "kick." Might only rate 4 stars as written since I think the canned tomatillos are probably not as flavorful as the salsa verde, but since my grocery doesn't carry them... Thanks for the recipe!
