Notes
- The chili will thicken as it cools. Keep that in mind before you simmer it longer.
- For a thinner consistency, adjust with a small amount of chicken broth.
- If you use rotisserie chicken, remove the skin before you shred the meat.
- For extra heat, serve sliced jalapeños or hot sauce on the side.
