Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans to create a unique and flavorful chili. Some good options include pinto beans, black beans, and chickpeas.
  • Add some heat: If you like your chili spicy, add some diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper to the pot. You can also use a hot pepper sauce to taste.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Be sure to cook it until it's just cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your chili will taste. Try to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
  • Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili for a long period of time allows the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
