A simple, slow simmered chicken chili. The crock pot does a great job of melding the flavors. Adding salsa at the end gives it a spicy boost.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Needed more jalapeno in my opinion to be called "jalapeno" chili. The two tbsp is rather overshadowed by all the beans. I added more after assembling and tasting it. Overall had decent flavor just needed more heat to live up to its name.

  2. Valerie REVIEW:

    When I first started assembling this I was afraid it was going to be on the bland side. It seemed very bean-heavy which without flavorings wouldn't be too interesting. However, once the salsa was added it really took shape. You can also definitely add more jalapeno (it's in the name, afterall). I added only one (a large, Texas sized one) and really it wasn't that noticeable. I did use a good zesty salsa though so the dish had plenty of heat.
