Notes
- Check for Doneness: Make sure the chicken is cooked through by using an instant-read meat thermometer. It should read 165°F (75°C) at the thickest part.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste and adjust seasonings as needed, especially with salt, since the spiciness of chilies and salt content in broth can vary.
- Spice Level: Adjust the heat by using milder or hotter green chilies.
- Alternate Proteins: Consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts or even turkey as a substitute.
- Alcohol-Free: If you prefer not to use beer, replace it with additional chicken broth or water.
- Additional Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or diced tomatoes.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container and in the fridge for up to 4 days.
