I admit that I altered the recipe after reading some of the reviews. I used Pinto Beans instead of white beans (it's what I had on hand), and I used twice as many bell peppers because I love bell peppers. I also added a tab of chicken bouillon, because who wouldn't want to flavor chicken with chicken? I also only let it cook for six hours instead of eight, and the meat came out perfect.
