I could seriously "oink" out on this chili! Delish!
Few changes: I used my crock pot and started with raw chicken, diced roasted tomatoes, and chicken broth. Browned onion and garlic; added spices (chipotle chili powder- 1 1/2 TBLS) and let these items cook overnight. In the a.m., chicken shredded nicely in the crock pot. Added 2 cans of black beans, 14 oz of tomato sauce and cooked a bit longer. Soooo yummy!09/11/09

This is an excellent recipe if you're watching both your food budget and daily calories. It's totally amazing; 5 stars isn't enough. It has great flavor and texture, and is really easy and simple to prepare. I used 1/2 of a 6lb. roasted chicken, one can of plain pintos, one can of mild mexican-flavored pinto beans, one #2 can whole tomatoes, one can chicken broth, and only one tsp. ancho chile powder instead of listed ingredients, all because that's what I had on hand. Doubling the recipe and/or adjusting the chili flavors should both be very simple to do. I served one cup of chili over 1/2 cup of white rice, with jalapeno cheddar and fat-free sour cream, and it was a very filling and satisfying dinner, even though I didn't add the correct amount of chili powder. Cutting back on the chicken broth and simmering it for several hours made it very thick; no problems with it being too soupy. Yes, I'll be making this many times again -- and it definitely goes on the Super Bowl menu!10/14/08
