Notes

Tips and Thoughts:
To make this recipe even quicker and easier, you could use canned chicken (12.5 oz size) and just add it in after the onions have cooked.
You could also do this chili in the slow cooker. I would start out with 3 whole chicken breasts layered on top of the other ingredients and when done, remove the chicken to shred and then return to the pot.
