Quick Green Chicken Chili

This chili is fantastic and so easy to make.  You use many ready made products like rotisserie chicken, green salsa, and canned cannelloni beans.  Put all of the ingredients in a pot, stir and cook.  That is it.  Dinner is ready and it tastes as if you spent hours preparing it.

I love this recipe.  It tastes wonderful and has a nice light spicy flavor to it. Leftovers taste better the next day.  The family also loved this chili.  It is a keeper.
