Okay starter recipe. Had to add some chicken broth. Also added some additional veggies and simmered for longer than it called for.

I added some broth because it seemed to be missing some liquid in the ingredients. It was pretty good and I think good for variations if I make it again.

I made this and tripled the recipe - it was delicious! Cooked my own beans for it. I would add a little more heat - more jalapeno would add more depth to it. Otherwise, the combination of flavors was amazing for a chicken chili. I will definitely make this again.

You lost me at boneless skinless breasts. The least flavorful part of the chicken,

I doubled this recipe for the family, but still only used one can of crushed tomatoes. I used four ears of fresh corn off the Cobb as well as some bell pepper. It wasn’t flavorful enough for me, I added some Adobo and chipotle chili powder, a little salt and more garlic

I also added chicken broth and fresh corn, for better flavor.
