This recipe took 1st place at my mother-in-law’s Chili Cook-off a couple years ago.  There were 7 contestants and the only recipe to use chicken instead of beef won 1st place…  YAHTZEE!  I consider this a ‘semi-homemade’ recipe due to the McCormick’s seasoning packet, but HEY!  A WIN is a WIN! Am I right? 🙂

It’s a must try for lazy cooks because it’s fool proof,… it comes out delicious every time!

Saute diced onion and then add minced garlic for the last minute so it doesn’t burn.

Then add the undrained can of tomatoes and beans, chicken broth or water, and entire contents of the seasoning packet.  Use chicken broth instead of water for better flavor.
