Everyone loves this yummy comfort food and it's pretty easy to make. I leave out the green chiles usually my kids like it better without.

I'm not a big fan of chicken frito, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was surprised to find that I actually liked it! The chili had a great flavor and the chicken frito was tender and juicy.

This chili is a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would probably use less chili powder next time.

This chicken frito chili was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had a great flavor. I especially liked the addition of the cornbread crumbs, which gave the chili a nice texture.
