I followed the recipe but I think I added too much salt. Be careful, folks!
I tried this recipe and my kids loved it! I added some corn for a little sweetness, and it turned out great.
Iām not really sure about using heavy cream in chili. Isnāt chili supposed to be more… chunky? š¤
I think the heavy cream adds a nice richness to the chili! Itās a creamier version for sure. Give it a shot! š
But isn’t chili meant to be thick? Heavy cream sounds odd for chili. I’d stick to just beans and chicken.
Yummy! I added corn too since I had some. It was delish! Def making again. š½
Corn sounds like a great addition! I might try that next time. Thanks for sharing! š½š
Chili with chicken? Isn’t that supposed to be beef? š¤
This was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfect and it was so easy to make. Definitely a keeper!
It was ok, but I think I put in too much cumin. ya think that changed the flavor?
I can’t believe how good this turned out! It was so easy, I’m definitely making it again. Thx for sharing!
Yum! I added a bit of lime juice for a pop of flavor š
This was soooo good! I added some extra cheese and it was a hit at dinner! Everyone loved it!
Sounds awesome! Glad it worked out for you! I gotta try that extra cheese trick next time. š
Yum! Best chicken chili I’ve ever made. I didn’t have heavy cream, so I used milk. Still turned out great!
Very easy and quick to make. Perfect for busy weeknights!
I made this last night and it was a hit! Super tasty and so easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!
Did you really have to use green chiles? They scare me! I used red ones instead! Not sure how that will turn out…
Red chiles are cool too! Just might make it a bit sweeter. Hope it turns out great!
Love the creaminess! I don’t even like beans but it was good. Who knew?
I thought this was too bland. Maybe add more spice or something? I like it hottt!
I used canned chicken instead of breasts because I was short on time. Still turned out fine!
I don’t know, man. I thought it was gonna be better. Something was missing… maybe more spices?
I think you’re right! A little more spice could really kick it up a notch. Maybe some jalapeƱos too?
This is the best chili I’ve ever made! So creamy and flavorful. My family loved it!
Nop. This looks too much like a soup… more chili and less cream please.
This recipe is awesome. Can I use black beans instead? I only have those at home.
You can use black beans, but it’ll change the flavor a lot! Still, I say go for it if that’s what you have.
i did not have heavy cream so i just added more sour cream. it turned out ok i guess.
Soo good! Just made it and I can’t stop eating! Thank you for the recipe. ā¤ļø
Looks good, but is it really worth all that cream? I mean, canāt you just make it with less? š¤
Iām glad you loved it! This chili is definitely a go-to in our house. I could never get enough of it! š„°
Too bland for my taste. I expected more flavor. Maybe add jalapeƱos next time?
This chili is way too creamy for my taste. I prefer a more broth-y chili. Next time I might half the cream.
White beans are not for chili. Use red beans! Just sayin’.
But isn’t chili supposed to have red beans? I’m not so sure about white beans in this.
I actually think the white beans add a nice creaminess to the chili! š
