An ok chicken chili. As has been mentioned the spice quotient is a little off. It needs more chili powder and cumin.

Very tasty dish. The family loved it with cornbread and fruit salad. Found it interesting that no salt was in the recipe and what do you know? No salt was needed! Could use a little more cumin and chili pepper to liven it up a bit but otherwise a very simple, fun, and filling meal.
