CHUNKY CHICKEN AND CHORIZO CHILI

Chunky Chicken and Chorizo Chili image

Chili is my favorite comfort food and, in my family, we always serve it with "Recipe #199381". I saw this recipe on 30 Minute Meals this morning and although it is a basic chili recipe, it includes an interesting addition...serving the chili with herbed polenta. I haven't made this yet so I welcome your reviews and comments. :)
