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 days.
  • You can also freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
