I was very disappointed with this dish. The ground chicken was not a good idea, it turned to mush. The overall flavor was pretty bland. I wish I would've read the reviews first.

We used boneless skinless chicken tenders instead of ground chicken and cubed them so the chicken would shred as it cooked. We also couldn't find the chipotle chili so we used an anaheim chili instead. We used an amber ale instead of a lager. We thought this chili was fantastic and will be eating it again in the future. It's a great non-traditional chili for the cooler months. I would feel free to change up the spices, but I would leave the liquid ratios as are so the consistency comes out appropriate. It sounds like a lot of people had problems with the consistency and I'm guessing that when they decided to alter the recipe, they didn't alter it appropriately. Leave the base, but play with the taste :

This is absolutely retched. If I could give it a negative 5 stars I would. If you live in Texas, avoid this mush like the plague. Who actually puts sweet potato and tapioca in a chili recipe??? Don't know why I even tried to make sense of it or make the dish all together.

This chili was a little too sweet for my taste. I also used ground turkey in place of the chicken. not sure I would do this one again.

This chili was really good. The sweet potato and cinnamon give it a nice twist to the traditional chili. I also added one chopped onion and 2 chopped cloves of garlic. Delicious!

I made this today and my family and I loved it. Since I couldn't find the ground chicken, I used turkey. I also left out the peppers and only used 1 tablespoon of chili powder since my small children don't like a lot of spice. My husband and I later added the additional "spice" to our bowls and it was great. While cooking, I did notice that it was turning out to be watery in texture so what I did after 5.5 hr was add the 1/2 cup of beer and turn it up to high for 40 minutes then reducing heat back to low while removing the lid. As with any chili, the longer you cook it, the more it thickens as liquid evaporates. The use of cinnamon and allspice gave it nice seasonal flavor.

Would never make again. I am a well above average cook and wanted to give this recipe a try. The consistency was terrible and the flavor was awkward at best. The following day I made Paula Dean's taco soup - that was a 5-star recipe!

This recipe was a great surprise! I'm not fond of chicken chili...I find the cheesy/creamy/chunky chicken varieties boring. I made this recipe as is with the exception of using a big pot instead of a slow cooker. There is nothing boring about this dish. Its spicy-sweet combination sets it a part from any chili I've tried. As a Cincinnati Skyline lover, I appreciate the melding of contrasting flavors. But a part from my own odd tastes, I made this for a dozen fellow stressed-out law students and no one could get enough. A very unique, memorable chili that will stand out in even the best chili cookoff!

This chili was only okay. I decided to use whole chicken *****, cooked in the mixture, and then shredded it instead of ground chicken since I am not a fan of ground chicken's texture. I also added some corn as someone else suggested. The sweetness in this dish makes it a little odd in flavor, though it is edible. I also made some rice and blended it in to absorb some of the liquid. It came out more like a watery dip than a chili. So we were scooping it up with tortilla chips. If I were to make it again, I would take out the sweet ingredients.

I quadrupled the recipe, and made this for 30 coworkers. It was a HUGE hit. I wasn't sure if it would be enough, so I made a pot of white rice. It is a little thin, but if you use the rice, it soaks up the extra liquid, and the consistency is then perfect. I precooked the chicken ahead of time. GREAT idea, since I cooked it on high for 4 hours. I used black, pinto and white beans instead, and added green and red peppers for color. The sweet potato was a little crispy, but I think it made it better, as it wasn't a mushy meal. Next time I think I will have to make one more pot, as everyone wanted seconds and there just wasn't enough! I will definitely be making this again.
