Tips for making the best chili with chicken.

Water and broth are mentioned as the wet ingredients in this recipe. While this recipe works great with your seasonings using just water, a bit of chicken broth can really give it a nice taste. I would not use broth for all four cups unless you want this to be more like a soup.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Cannellini or Great Northern beans work best in this recipe because of their creamy texture and mild flavor. Just make sure that your beans are well rinsed and drained first.
2. This recipe also works well with turkey breast.
3. To make a thicker chili that can be used in wraps or as a dip, simply add less water or broth.
4. The first part of this recipe entails cooking the chicken in your slow cooker. Make sure that you cook the chicken just until it is cooked through as overcooking it can make dry and tough to shred.
5. Even easier, use precooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken, or pre-shredded chicken.
6. Don't want to shred your chicken? Dicing into small chunks works okay too.
