ShortRib

Since you guys were asking, I thought I would share my Southwestern Chicken Chili recipe. [p]Here goes:
In a crockpot, place and stir:

2-3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can buy frozen-will be cheaper)
2 cans black beans (include the juice too)
2 cans diced tomatoes (Mexican style if possible, with or without green chilis)
1 can yellow corn (do not include the juice)
1 green pepper chopped
1 small/medium white or yellow onion
*the secret ingredient: 1 pack taco seasoning (El Paso, preferably)
crushed red pepper to taste- per Nate, "don't be bashful"
Texas Pete hot sauce- use about 1/3 of a 6 oz. jar (approx. 5 "glubs" when you shake the bottle! that is Nate's technical term)
garlic powder- approx 1-2T
chili seasoning- approx 2-3 T
cumin- approx 1-2T (if you have it!)
fresh cilantro- use a bundle (it is sold that way) and chop up the leaves (throw out the stems)
jalapeno peppers -chopped/slivered (optional)

Use your judgement with the seasonings.Nate doesn't measure anything!
Cook for at least 8 hours in crock pot. Once cooked, the chicken will obviously be very hot, but you need to pull it apart into bite-size chunks, or "shreds". It will not fall apart on its own!
Serve it with sour cream and shredded sharp chedder on top. Can also put tortilla chips on the side to dress up the presentation. Trust me, this chili is awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!

ShortRib,[p]Recipe looks good! I guess it's getting to be chili time again. Have you tried this recipe on an egg (I suspect about 350, in a dutch oven) foe several hours)[p]What effect did the smoke have?[p]Smokey

Glad to see your still kicking.
Hope all is well.
Give me a shout on what's up. I was a little south last month and brought home a pile of this season's anchos and some cascabels. The latter is a round thin skinned dry one and the word also means rattlesnake rattle. Thinking we may have some serious heat here.
