I made this chicken chili recipe a few nights ago when I had half a cooked chicken that needed using up and as I am the queen of leftovers I decided to whip up this chili of sorts.
How to make easy chicken chili
I fried off an onion, garlic and aromatic spices before adding canned tomatoes, beans and shredded chicken. This is the perfect recipe to use rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken. The chicken chili will also make a FANTASTIC filling for quesidillas, burritos and wraps in general. It’s the kind of recipe I make in bulk and freeze in portions for easy lunches, fuss-free dinners and it is the absolute best recipe to serve to a crowd of people (hello Game Day feasting!) I love serving the chili in a big pot and having bowls of guacamole, grated cheese, sour cream and salsa for everyone to make up their own bowls of chili. I used a few tortillas that were lying at the back of my fridge to make the quickest home-made tortilla chips, et voila. Dinner was served. So simple, so scrumptious and something you can whip up in seconds.
