Southwest Chicken Chili

An extremely Delicious Chili Recipe From Chilis Restaurants. This wonderful chili recipe has a little bit of it all. But don't let the ingredients scare you away this dish is absolutely incredible. After you make it once you'll want to make it time and time again. We did and we liked to play with the ingredients each time we brew a different batch. The chili recipe comes straight from Chilis Menu and it's extremely easy to make. Below are the ingredients and below that is the preparation. Like most chilis this dish is excellent right after it's made but always better the next day. The dish is safe for freezing as well so you can save a big batch for a cold rainy day this winter.
