The days are getting cold and all we want to eat around here is something warm and comforting. This chicken chili hits the spot! I’m always looking for ways to use up leftover chicken, whether it be bbq’d or rotisserie and this is the perfect way to do it.
This chili tastes great if you let it simmer on the stove for a while, let all the ingredients come together. The house will smell incredible and be filled with warmth. Perfect for these cold days.
