Chicken Chili
This one started out with one of Sam The Cooking Guy recipes that I found about 2005 or so. (www.samthecookingguy.com) That guy is really a great cook! It was so simple, so delicious and tasty that I was able to make it in a hotel room and impress the hell out of everyone at the pot luck dinner. I made it the way Sam intended about 1 time and then I started adding my own stuff to it so now, I am not sure Sam would recognize it. But I like to think he would ask for a second bowl. It is really good. I like to serve it with fresh, hot, sweet corn infused cornbread with butter. Yum!
