This is the BEST chili I hae made to date! A totaly crowd pleaser! People were begging for leftovers to take home after the party, luckily I made 3 times the amount and pre-packed it knowing it would be loved! THANKS INA!

I like to make this chili and freeze it for later. The taste truly improves and the chicken and vegetables are silky and melting on your tongue when reheated. Top it with a dollop of sour cream and you have a warm, comforting meal perfect for company or just yourself at the end of the day.
Delicious chili for all occasions!

I made this recipe for dinner tonight and absolutely loved it! It is so full of flavor and deliciously topped off with some corn chips and grated cheddar cheese. I also added a can of drained black beans. I will be using this recipe all year round! Thanks Ina!

Tastes like tomatoes... not chili

User: JOLENE from Edgewater, MD User Rating:
This was quite disapointing. The primary test is the plum tomatoes. I have made much better chicken chili. I can't believe Ina didn't use any fresh anaheim or jalepeno peppers. I typically love most Ina recipies but, this was surely the worse I've tried.

User: Elizabeth from Bethlehem, PA User Rating:
I LOVE Ina. Any of her recipes that I've made have always turned out fantastic. But chicken chili was a disappointment. First, it's not really chili; it's more like tomato soup with chicken and peppers. Second, the spices are ok, but it's missing some key ingredients like jalapeno, beans, or maybe some corn. Again, I love Ina. But this recipe was a total "miss".
Loved it!

I made this chicken chili yesterday. I use chili beans, ground beef, salsa, chili powder, Cayenne pepper and tomato sauce. The only different between them as far as taste goes is that this has chicken in it. I guess I was expecting from this recipe is maybe a little different taste.

As a busy, working mother, I love one-pot meals that I can make the night before and freeze for future meals, and that everyone in the family enjoys. This recipe meets all the criteria. I serve it over rice pilaf, which increases its heartiness. It is not like the traditional chili that everyone is used to but that's okay. My meal rotation consists mostly of Tex/Mex so it's nice to change it up.

I did not make any changes to the recipe, however, when I realized my plum tomatoes were not packed in puree but rather in juice, I drained them chopped them and added 2 tablespoon of tomato paste. I think that might be the reason some of the reviews mentioned that their chili turned out more like 'soup'...Next time I will use Italian tomatoes (packed in Italy) in puree.
SOOOO YUMMY!!!

GREAT SOUP/ Not Chili

User: PAIGE from springfield, MO User Rating:
This is absolutely a great soup - but dont be fooled by the "chili" name - it is not even similar to a chili. I added navy beans(drain & rinse) - wish I had added a can of black beans also, to add more fiber. It tastes just wonderful and fresh and great for a low cal/fat lunch !
Usually love Ina but was disappointed
01/21/2008 at 06:07pm
User: Anonymous User Rating:
Like a previous reviewer, I had to keep adding spice to try and give this flavor and really couldn't. It's very watery, the chicken loses all of its flavor when you add it to the liquid, and it tastes more like a tomato sauce than chili. Have no idea how she thought adding basil would enhance it--cilantro would have been much better.
Light, healthy and tasty

I found this had a very good chili flavor. As with any chili, you adjust the heat and spice to your taste. I also added a can of black beans. To address the thickness, I just made a corn starch slurry with the sauce and added back to the pot.
Crock Pot Easy!

Easy to prepare and add to a crock pot. It was more of a soup than a stew so, I cooked some rice to absorb the liquid. Wonderful for a cold night. I did add a can of black beans and cilantro instead of the basil on the advise of others and it did indeed make it smell like a mexican dish. Thanks to the other wonderful cooks out there.
worth the prep time!

I had this dish at my friend's house. She did not put any spices in it becasue we had toddlers eating; even then it was great. My husband and I made it last night (we cut it in half), and he had almost three bowls! True, it is not your tradional chili, but why try new things if you want them all to tast the same. The flavors of the peppers, spices and chicken blended together beautifully. We will certainly be making this dish again, very soon. Another homerun from Ina! Bravo!

This was the best tasting chili recipe ever!! Yes, it is not traditional, but if you are tired of the traditional, and dont want to eat a creamy-based chicken version- then this is for you! You must be alover of peppers to truly appreciate this recipe. I followed the measurements exactly but I added white beans.

Ina's Chicken Chili is a delicious chili/stew. As Ina explained when she made this on BC, it is mean to be chunky and hearty. I used fire-roasted tomatoes and threw in a can of cannellini beans. I loved the big pieces of chicken instead of ground meat/turkey usually used in a traditional chili. Perfect for a chilly day or night. Enjoy!
Too Tomato-y

User: Peter from University Hts, OH User Rating:
The only liquid in this recipe comes from tomato puree from the canned plum tomatos. To me, the recipe lacks the meatiness or earthiness of a good chili recipe; I'd even go so far as to say it's like eating a tomato sauce with chicken it. Healthy? Yes. Great chili? Not really. Won't be making this again.

This isnt chili. I LOVE Ina and all of her recipes. This is the first I have truly hated. This would be a delicious sauce for pasta if you remove the spices. But the "chili" is WAY too saucy and was bland even though I almost doubled the spice. Not sure what I could have done wrong here. It was a really easy recipe.

I just made this recipe tonight for supper and it was a hit with my whole family. My younger daughter is a very picky eater and filled her dish twice tonight with Ina's Chicken Chili! I did find the sauce to be a bit thick and used about 2 cups of chicken stock to thin it out a little bit. Other then that, I followed the recipe to a tee. This recipe is a keeper and will be made a lot!!

This recipe has become a favorite in our home. It is really simple to make, extremely delicious, and very healthy. It is a recipe that is very low in fat, but high in protein and rich in vitamins. The flavor is wonderful...so rich and tasty. It is also one of those meals that is very filling and leaves you satisfied. You will not be hungry an hour after eating it. I also love it leftover and eat it for days after making it. If you are looking for a traditional southwestern chili though, this is not it, however, after eating this Italian style chili I don't care if I ever have traditional chili again. This is much better!!!

Love Ina, have all her books, cook many of her recipes on a regular basis. Thought I'd try this one out. It's a lighter, healthier version of your typical chili. However, I felt it lacked something - beans, perhaps, to thicken it up. It has the consistency of stewed tomatoes with chunks of chicken in it - not what I expected. Not sure I'd make it again, and if I did, I'd add beans and use cilantro instead of basil (although I love basil, too).
A delicious departure from the norm

I was at first concerned that this recipe wouldn't be as satisfying as a traditional chili, but those concerns were erased upon the first bite! It is definitely different without any beans but very good. Roasting the chicken adds great flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This is a great recipe! I have made almost every chili recipe in the book and until this one, the only good ones were beef. I doubled the spices for our taste here in the south but I also added one ounce of Mexican chocolate...and I used a rotisserie chicken that I got at the store. Don't expect this to taste like traditional chili.. but you will not be disappointed! I ate mine plain because I'm watching calories but the others used cheese, sour cream and Fritos. I think it's best with nothing added.

Another winner - Ina is the BEST - the chili had a lovely layered taste - delicious!! Next time I think I'll saute the chicken in the pot before the onions (removing the chicken and adding back in after the tomatoes cook) rather than roasting them seperately.

I really love this dish! When you eat this, you are satisfied and don't really miss the regular chili version. I thought that it would be kind of boring, but it wasn't. I know that on the show she said that she didn't like cilantro so she was going to put basil in instead. I love cilantro, so I used a handful of that intead of the basil...it was great. I also happen to have big can of fire roasted tomoatos, so I put that in as one of my cans and just used the regular canned tomatoes for my 2nd can. That also added a little punch of flavor as well. My husband doesn't like peppers or onions, so I will have to see how he likes it, but I will definately cook it again.
totally good

I halved this recipe since I was only cooking for my husband and I, and used a rotisserie chicken to save time. The end result was delicious and this is a great lower fat alternative to regular beef chili.

I am certain that this is a 5 star recipe if done exactly as it is. I have a very busy life and do not have time to cook meals that take more that 20 minutes. So I decided to use my Crockpot for this recipe, and it turned out fabulous! I used thigh meat instead of breast meat, you don't need to add any oil when cooking in the Crockpot. I also added a can of white kidney beans (I will even add more next time). I didn't brown anything, I just threw it all in the pot, stirred it up and set it on low for 8 hours. It was very very tasty, and healthy!! I had no guilt after eating this! My boyfriend was very pleased with it as well, and especially enjoyed it with the added sour cream on top.
Wonderful!

When I first read the ingredients I wasn't sure but I needed something fast for dinner tonight so I gave it a try. What a great recipe! It was very easy to prep and the finished product came together beautifully. I bought a roasted chicken from the store and shredded that instead of roasting the breasts. I also took other's suggestions and I doubled the spices and added 1 cup of chicken broth as well as a can of black beans. I served it with Corn Bread and lots of shredded cheddar cheese, lime slices and sour cream! Definately a keeper! Delish!

I used shredded rotisserie chicken, doubled the tomatoes and added an undrained can of black bean. Since we think it tastes better reheated, the extra moisture is welcome. The toppings, especially the cheese thickens it nicely. Sweet peppers and chicken are great together

Loved this one! I did use cilantro and not basil (Ina doesn't like it but we do) and a little more chili powder and chipotles instead of the cayenne and hot pepper seeds. Great with some sourdough bread. I can see a lot of changes being great with this too like adding some roasted green chilis or canned beans. As usual, love those Ina recipes!

This was really good. I did make a couple of changes: added some corn, made the pieces a little smaller than shown on the show, a little more cayenne powder, cilantro instead of basil, and added a little bit of chicken stock (the original looked a little too thick). This was delicious - grea comfort food on a cold rainy day.

This is so delicious and reminds you why cooking is so worthwhile and fun (as I don't get a chance to cook as often I would like.) It does take some time to chop things up and to roast the chicken and take it off the bones but I think it was ABSOLUTELY worth the time and effort. I added 1 extra tsp of chili powder, 2 yellow carrots and 2 orange carrots and a can of cannellini beans-SO worth every minute and makes plenty for leftovers or to freeze. Perfect amount of spice and delicious with sour cream. FABULOUS!
Yummy!

And the toppings really set this dish off! As some viewers have suggested, I will be trying this recipe with cilantro instead of basil and add a can of drained black beans in the future. Some corn may be good also!
