Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped chicken, salt, and pepper to the hot oil and cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for another 3-5 minutes until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through.
Add remaining ingredients to the pot and stir. Bring chili to a low simmer and cook on low for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove chili from heat and let cool slightly. Serve with cheese, sour cream and green onions (optional). Enjoy!
Notes
*Store leftover chili completely cooled in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
