Love this recipe. The time is really just the prep work. I agree about the spice amount. Everyone is different and we like it HOT. I always throw a whole "scotch bonnet" pepper into any chili, soup or sauce I make. The flavor of this pepper is very unique.
One word of caution, do not let the pepper burst, because the seeds are were all the heat is. So, do not throw it in the blender if you are chopping your tomatoes.

I always like chili and stews better the next day after everything has time to marinate and simmer, slowly.

A crusty loaf of bread or making some nice healthy wild or brown rice to pour the chili over, is also delish! Ina's recipes are always enough for friends and family~

This recipe is wonderful, everyone in my family loved it. I found it a nice change from the typical chili but it still hit the same flavors.

Amazing. I love to make Chili, particularly with ground turkey when I'm on a good exercise plan. I knew from the amount of tomato that one teaspoon of chili powder wouldn't be enough, but here's the thing: whenever I've made chili I spice it to taste, while I'm cooking it, you should test your stuff anyway and spice it to your liking. So her amount of tomato, onion, peppers, other spices, technique for cooking the chicken make this recipe AMAZING. Just spice it to taste, a little more chili powder and it's beautiful. I also up the cooking time because I like my peppers very soft.
PS Adding the toppings of shredded cheese, sour cream and onion bump this up to five star flavor.

When I first saw Ina make this, for some reason I didn't think it was going to be full of flavor like beef chili with beans. I was so wrong! This Chicken Chili is so hearty, so delicious and just as filling as a bowl of beef chili. This will be my go-to chili recipe from now on.

I didn't grow up eating chili or anything like that, so while my initial impression was that this recipe seemed atypical in that it lacked beans (a staple chili ingredient I think the end product is really wonderful. Instead of Using roast chicken, I use ground chicken which I put in between the garlic and the bell peppers. It's easier and more chili-esque. I've also found that the salt is too little so I'm always checking my seasonings and adding as I go along. Another thing is the sheer volume of chili that this recipe turns out -- way too much, so I cut the recipe by half and we end up with about 4 or 5 servings. Lastly, I serve with a dollop of sour cream which gives the perfect amount of creaminess. Enjoy.

I agree with most that said it needs a little doctoring... I am in Texas and just 1 tsp of chili powder seemed odd, but I followed the receipe, but in the end it taeted more like a pasta sauce than a chilli. My creative skills then whet into affect and I doctored it up...

Awesome, with some additions. The first time I made this I added a can of kidney beans. The second time I used ground beef instead of chicken and 3 cans of kidney beans. My husband loves both and he normally isn't a big chicken or chili fan. Also this makes way more than 6 servings!

This recipe needed some help. I added more spice (doubled the red pepper flake and cayenne, added 1/2 tsp. white pepper, and 1 large fresh serrano pepper. Also added 1/2 tbsp dried oregano and basil.

Finally to top it off, and this might make things a bit unhealthy (but so good I cut up 1 lb of thick cut bacon into 1 inch pieces and cook that until crispy (this is important, if not crispy the bacon will be chewy in the final product. Once crispy add the yellow onion (do not drain off the bacon grease!! and follow the rest of the cooking directions.

The recipe is a good foundation and as always... bacon saves the day!!

Ina, you've put up some good recipies - but this ain't one of 'em ! I just "wasted" 3 onions and 4 bells (not to mention the other spices. This is nothing but tomato sauce with some veggies added.
(my making this was sorta like when I went to Tommy Bahama's - and ordered Ribs ! - Big mistake.

Glad I didn't put the chicken in - will use that for sandwiches and toss the "red stuff".

This is a terrible terrible recipe !

The recipe as it stands is a little bit boring (so I gave it a 4. I added some extra spices like the other reviewer's suggested. I also added corn and black beans because I can't imagine chili without it. I also added celery and spinach because, frankly, I had it in my fridge and it was going to go bad. After all the things I added I give it 5 STARS! Mmmmmm. Definitely going to make this again and again.
