Throwing in some extra chicken and veggies adds even more flavor.

- notes
- I did not add thickening agents to this chili such as xanthan gum so the liquid will be thinner but the amount of veggies and meat make it a hearty dish
- I did not measure the amount it serves, I just separated it into 4 equal servings in bowls
