Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation without sacrificing flavor. Let the chili sit for a few minutes after cooking to enhance the flavors. For a creamier consistency, blend a portion of the beans before adding them to the pot. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an added burst of freshness. Pair the dish with crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal. If you love cheese, consider mixing in some cream cheese for richer flavors.
