Expert Tips

- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a different type of chili altogether.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken, just be sure to add it towards the end of the cooking process to warm it through.

- Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
