• 4 combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.
• 5 add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese melts in the chili.
• 6 you might want to serve the chili with more sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
• 7 the recipe serves about four people, but i always double it, because it tastes even better the second day.
• 8 if you don't use fresh cilantro, you might want to double the amount you use.
• 9 also, i have found the garlic to be low, but you can tell by my name that i love to cook with garlic.
• 10 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!
