For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. This chili is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
