I was stalking this recipe for a while. So glad I finally tried it -- will be a future staple in cool months! I bought prepackaged ground chicken and pre-cooked in skillet to make it more "chunky" as other reviewers suggested, before adding to crockpot. I didn't add the beer, but not on purpose -- was a last-minute oversight. We loved this. I will probably use an additional chipotle pepper next time because we love spicy heat. NOTE: It makes TONS. Time for a bigger crockpot.

We make this often as it is easy and tasty. We place two chciken breasts at the bottom of the cooker and at the end of the day shred them into the chili, I think the texture this way is better and it makes for a more hearty chili.

My family loves this recipe and it is in regular rotation in my house. I have made a few changes (what cook doesn't make changes: ground turkey instead of chicken, because it is easier to find and less expensive; I omit the soy sauce, sweet potato and beer, and we don't miss anything from these omissions; I use 4-5 chipotle chiles and pour a little of the sauce into the crock-pot; I add a can of black beans because I looooove beans. If you really want to boost the nutrition, use chia seeds in place of the tapioca -- it won't get as thick as with the tapioca but you'll get plenty of healthy omega fatty acids! I love adding chunks of avocado to the chili as a topping.

the sweet potato and cinnemon adds a very unique taste. Outstanding. Full of flavor.

I am always looking for new chili recipes, and this one is amazing! Based on other reviewers comments, here are some changes I made to the original recipe: Cubed the chicken and sweet potato into 1/2" pieces; reduced chili powder to 2 Tbl; used crushed tomatoes rather than diced, as that was what was available; reduced tomatoes and stock by half and added more tomatoes to moisten. Left out tapioca, beer and last addition of chili powder. Took of the lid and increased heat to high for last hour of cooking to reduce. In general I do agree that browning the chicken and using fresh onion and garlic are tastier, but when I use my slow cooker I am going for speed and convenience as well as taste, and this one fits the bill! For those wary of the cinnamon and cloves, I found they melded well with the other seasonings ( in fact, I often use cinnamon in my BBQ sauce! and complimented the dish!

My family LOVES this Chili. I dice the sweet potato instead of grating it. I have tried it both ways, and we prefer it diced. I love all the flavors and it's super easy!

I didn't care for this chili at first. It just tasted really "different" to me. That being said, I knew the flavor was excellent... just not to my liking. After the second day of having it, it started growing on me, and by the 3rd day, I was craving it! Yes! It makes a generous amount, which is a good thing, because the flavors deepen and mellow over time. This recipe is EASY and delicious. It may take your tastebuds some time to adjust to the fire-roasted tomato taste, but it is well worth it. It IS spicy, so have some sour cream handy! I will definitely add this to my recipe box. PS: I also omit the beer, and I simply use cut up chicken breasts instead of ground chicken.

I love this recipe! I'm going to enter it into a chili contest this weekend. I don't use the beer and I substitute ground turkey for the chicken.

I used this recipe as a base. I omit the beer, sweet potato, beans (boyfriend hates beans and replace with rice, and cinnamon. I use fresh chopped bell pepper, onions, and jalapenos instead of canned or powder, and used chicken breast instead of ground. I also add a couple of spoonfuls of the adobo sauce from the chipotle chilis. Everything else was the same. The fresh jalapenos and the adobo sauce really spice it up, and omitting the cinnamon cuts down on the sweetness, I used it the first time and we didn't like it. It's all about heat in our house. Needless to say this gets made several times a month!
