  • Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
  • Fill highball glasses with ice.
  • Strain the mojito mixture into the prepared glasses.
  • Top each glass with a splash of club soda for a bit of fizz.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder and cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • You can also freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating.
