Chicken Chili

A left-over make-over: When faced with chicken left overs.

Costco boneless, frozen spicy breaded chicken strips or wings (chopped)
-Or any chicken leftovers diced or shredded
Caned spicy chili beans (your favorite brand)
Caned diced tomatos
Canned or Frozen corn
Onion
Garlic
Chili Powder
Cayenne Pepper (If you like it extra spicy)
S&P to taste

If you don't have Chili Powder Combine...To make your own:
Cayenne Pepper or red pepper flakes
Paprika
Cumin
Onion Powder (not salt)
Garlic Powder (not salt)
Crushed dried Oregano (just a pinch)
Crushed dried Cilantro (just a pinch)
S&P or a couple shakes fo steak seasoning

Saute Onion and garlic in a pan. Throw in diced up chicken left overs. Heat through and add all canned/frozen ingred. Bring to a simmer and taste. If you used light or unflavored beans (or just like it extra spicy) add chili powder, cayenne pepper and S&P here. Chili is ready in 30min but you can let it simmer all day on the stove top, or throw everything in the crockpot ahead of time. The longer this one sits the better it gets so it's great for freezing!

Serve with shredded cheese and chips. We like Frito scoops.

In my house the honest truth is I never make two dishes the same simply because I may be working with left overs, cleaning out the pantry or fridge, feeling adventerous, or simply because I've never written the recipe down. Soooo....if you try this or any others I might post please take note, it is from faulty memory and when in doubt make it your own with ingred's you like. :-)
