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 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.

Storage Instructions

  • 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.
