Notes

Can you use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They will just add a little more fat to your chili.
Can you make it in an Instant Pot?
I haven’t tested this recipe in an Instant Pot. I have a beef chili recipe you can make in your IP, so give that one a try!
How should you store it?
Leftover chicken chili should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep well for a few days.
