For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a diced onion and a minced garlic clove when you first add the chicken. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference; for a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Garnish with crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, or a squeeze of lime juice for a truly personalized experience. This chili freezes beautifully! Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers or bags. It will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
