    I followed the recipe but I think I added too much salt. Be careful, folks!

    I tried this recipe and my kids loved it! I added some corn for a little sweetness, and it turned out great.

    Chili with chicken? Isn’t that supposed to be beef? 🤔

    Yum! Best chicken chili I’ve ever made. I didn’t have heavy cream, so I used milk. Still turned out great!

    Did you really have to use green chiles? They scare me! I used red ones instead! Not sure how that will turn out…

      Red chiles are cool too! Just might make it a bit sweeter. Hope it turns out great!

    Love the creaminess! I don’t even like beans but it was good. Who knew?

    I used canned chicken instead of breasts because I was short on time. Still turned out fine!

    I don’t know, man. I thought it was gonna be better. Something was missing… maybe more spices?

      I think you’re right! A little more spice could really kick it up a notch. Maybe some jalapeños too?

    Nop. This looks too much like a soup… more chili and less cream please.

    This recipe is awesome. Can I use black beans instead? I only have those at home.

    1. User avatar bong.bayer says:

      You can use black beans, but it’ll change the flavor a lot! Still, I say go for it if that’s what you have.

      Looks good, but is it really worth all that cream? I mean, can’t you just make it with less? 🤔

    2. 5 stars
      I’m glad you loved it! This chili is definitely a go-to in our house. I could never get enough of it! 🥰

    Too bland for my taste. I expected more flavor. Maybe add jalapeños next time?

    This chili is way too creamy for my taste. I prefer a more broth-y chili. Next time I might half the cream.
