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.
