• Saute the onions in the oil until they are gently browned.
• Combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.
• Add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese melts in the chili.
• You might want to serve the chili with more sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
• The recipe serves about four people, but I always double it, because it tastes even better the second day.
• If you don't use fresh cilantro, you might want to double the amount you use.
• Also, I have found the garlic to be low, but you can tell by my name that I love to cook with garlic.
• It was also great to substitute some of the chicken broth with beer (preferably Mexican), if you add a few shots of tequila for added ummph!
