For a richer flavor, try browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the heat level. This chili tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced green onions, avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
