Add a 14 oz can of chicken broth if you want a normal thick chili. Leave it out for extra thick. Stir very well.

I made this today and it is super easy and delish.

I used boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts and poached them in bottled water for 20 minutes. After they cooled a bit, I chopped them up into small cubes and seasoned it with a bit of salt.

I saved the poaching liquid in case I wanted to use it in place of the broth, but I ended up not needing it.

It makes 7.5 cups of chili. Freezes fine. I used Amy's Organic Mild Salsa and Cabot 50% Pepper Jack cheese. When I use low fat cheese, I always use a slow cooker bag because low fat cheese is a beast to clean up.

My version came to 266 Cal per cup.

My husband makes this exact recipe, only he uses frozen fajita chicken strips and chops them up, adds 1/2 an onion chopped and 2 cans chicken broth. It is SO delicious!! The fajita chicken makes it extra spicy. Oh and a whole jar of thick and chunky Chi-Chi's salsa. (No cumin also) He wins the chili cook-off at work every time with this. :-)

We've been making this recipe for at least 15 years. It's always a hit and couldn't be easier. I highly recommend it!

Delicious. I have also made this with the green tomatillo salsa.

Thanks for the tip. I have some leftover tomatillos. I will try this recipe tonight.

Someone posted in his comments section that they used green tomatillo sauce in it. I will try that next time.

I made this almost exactly as the OP's recipe----I used a little more salsa ( Kirkland medium from Costco that we love) and no broth. It was plenty soupy and DIVINE!!!!! I loved my old chicken chili, but LOVE THIS MORE. Can't remember having a tastier dish that was so INCREDIBLY EASY! Thanks again.
