Notes
If you like a thicker chili, leave out the cup of water.
If you like shredded chicken instead of diced chicken, place whole chicken breasts in the pot right before you put the lid on to cook. After the chili has cooked, you can remove the chicken breasts and shred the meat, which will be very easy. Add the shredded chicken breast back into the chili.
Chili topping ideas: shredded cheddar cheese or cotija cheese, diced avocado, lime slices, tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, sour cream or crema, sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled), diced onions.
