Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. Work in batches to ensure even cooking and a nice sear.
  • Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to control the level of spiciness.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the chili in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
