My sister-in-law Rachelle makes a wonderful Chicken Chili. Unfortunately, I have trouble finding the spice packets that she uses, so I've created this recipe to mimic hers. This Chicken Chili is easy to make and great for the freezer. It is a bit spicy, but we like to cool down the spice a bit with shredded cheese and sour cream. Yum!
Note: This makes a HUGE amount of chili. You can half it or freeze portions in quart-sized ziploc bags. Also, you can make this camping too -- take it pre-made frozen in ziploc bags and reheat OR cut up the chicken & freeze it ahead of time and use a spice packet instead of the individual spices. Just don't forget to bring your can-opener and then cook it up on-site.
