Tammy's Review: 

This is a delicious, hearty chicken chili recipe. I've been making this soup for many years; it's a nice change from beef chili, and makes good use of leftover chicken, too. It's easy to make; I usually leave out the cayenne pepper, and use mild salsa. I also sometimes add a dried anaheim pepper during cooking for extra flavor. My rating: 9/10.

delicious!

My Mom made this recipe for dinner last night, and it is soo good! The chicken chili I usually make is not tomato based, so this was new for us. :) It is very tasty...we like spicy food, so we used the cayenne and hot salsa. We'll definitely be enjoying the leftovers and making it again!

Delicious

This came together in a flash because it contains almost everything I keep on hand. I did use a submersion blender to whirl the pepper,onion and other chunky veg's before I added the salsa and chicken so my one son wouldn't have a fit over the vegetables. He ate it without question. I know it's a little sneaky but I do what I have to do to get my boys to eat vegetables. I added some Monterrey Jack cheese and cheddar to the tops after I spooned them into the bread bowls and returned them to the oven a few extra minutes for it to melt. Just delicious!!
