Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Chili takes time to cook, but when it’s 30 Minute Creamy Chicken Chili, using a rotis chicken, you can have a hearty, creamy and incredibly delicious chili on the table in 30 minutes – as the name suggests. This is one you’re going to want to put on repeat during the long winter. This is a great way to use up any leftover rotis chicken you have or any chicken you have leftover be it a roast or pan-fried – reinvent it in another meal.

Look, if you’re not a fan of too much heat, then scale back on the cayenne pepper a bit, remove the seeds from the chilies but still use them as they add flavor. The chili powder isn’t hot, it does add lots of flavor. The cans of green chilies are mild but again, they add flavor. Different chilies add different flavor so give this a go. 30 Minute Creamy Chicken Chili is quick and easy to make and saves on wasting leftovers: time-saving, money-saving and wholesome.
