Chili chicken for a chilly day, Member peakers

I was surprised I had all the ingredients except I used canneili beans and frozen pepper strips and I put a 1/4 tsp of Emerils Essence in it to add the slight amount of heat that the Pintos with jalapenos would have. The slowly cooked chicken stays tender and the whole stew flavor was just what I thought it would be. My family loved it. My crock pot is a 31/2 QT and it was only 3/4 full, so the recipe could be increased a little if needed, by adding beans and tomatoes and more chicken and another bouillon cube. I start the Crock pot on high for 1 hour, then turn to low for 5 hours.
