Frequently asked questions
＋ − Can I use fresh chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?
Yes, you can use 2-3 pounds of boneless chicken breasts or thighs. Add them to the slow cooker with the other ingredients and they ll cook perfectly during the cooking time. Shred the chicken with two forks once it s tender.
＋ − Is this chili spicy?
The heat level is moderate with the salsa verde and chili powder. The cayenne pepper is optional and can be omitted for a milder version. You can always adjust the spice level by choosing mild or hot salsa verde.
＋ − Can I make this on the stovetop instead?
Absolutely! Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well blended.
＋ − What toppings work best with this chili?
Popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and crushed tortilla chips. Cornbread or warm flour tortillas also make great accompaniments.
