Notes
Storage: Store leftover chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments, or on the stove over medium heat.
Adjust The Heat: You can easily adjust the amount of heat in this recipe in a few different ways. Rotel is available in a ton of different spice levels and can add a little or a lot of heat. Since we have young kids, we usually use the mild Rotel, but for more heat you can use original, hot, or even extra hot versions. You can also add additional cayenne pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes, for more heat.
Chicken Thighs: You can swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
Ground Turkey: If you prefer to use ground turkey in this recipe, follow our directions for browning the turkey in our crockpot turkey chili recipe, and then add the rest of the ingredients listed and cook as directed.
