      We really enjoyed this recipe. I used some leftover smoked turkey. Per other comments, I added some cilantro, lime and made a roux to thicken it up. I also added a bit of leftover gravy.

      I used half the amount of chicken broth indicated and omitted the cayenne peppper. Topped with sour cream, it was delicious

      Had this for lunch today using leftover chicken breast. We liked it. However, the consistency was more like soup, so we added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up a bit. I used 2 (4 oz) cans of diced green chilies since I didnt have any jalapenos. I think the chili would be improved by adding fresh chopped cilantro. I topped with smoked cheddar cheese. This was certainly fast and easy with minimal prep required. Thanks.

      This was GREAT!! I used turkey and added 1 cup of milk to the sauce trying to make it more of a "chili" consistencey - not sure that it worked- but it was still very tasty. I also used a few dashes of hot sauce for the jalapeno and chili peppers. We ate this over white rice and I forgot the cheese (oops!). Thank you so much for sharing!!

      We absolutely LOVED this. A few changes, though. We had a couple red peppers - not sure what kind - they looked like red jalapeños. Anyway, we threw two of those in, chopped, and those were the only peppers we added. We forgot all of the spices! We used one big can of white beans NOT drained, a full box of chicken broth, and added a big handful of frozen corn. To serve, we crunched up a bunch of tortilla chips and poured the soup over them, then topped it all with chopped cilantro and lots of cheese, and more chips as desired. Now I know what we will do every day after roasting a whole chicken! Thanks!

      Very tasty recipe. Loved to use that turkey I had in the freezer. I only used 1 can of beans. Didn'r have any green chilies so I added 1 cup of hot salsa. Also I had a few veggies (carrots & green beans) left over so I added them. This was enjoyed with a salad along side. Thanks for posting

      What a great way to use up leftover chicken! This is a keeper. Nice flavor, and so easy to make.

      This was a great way to use that chicken in the freezer! Very tasty and not too spicy. I also left out the cheese so it was more like a soup but it's definitely in my keeper file. Thanks for the recipe!

      Loved this one. The only thing I modified was eliminating the cayenne and I used a dash of jalapeno powder I picked up in New Mexico. Since we are trying to slim down after the holidays, I also skipped adding the cheese so it was more like a soup. Very good!

      This is really good! I used leftover turkey in it. I will make it again, but for our tastes, I will omit the cayenne pepper. It was really spicy for us!!! I added some heavy cream to tone it down a bit. Thanks!

      Pretty good chili; good use of leftover turkey. Added only 1 can of jalapenos since that's what we had but it still had a good amount of heat to it for us. Thanks for posting!

      Excellent. Reminded me of a posole (without the hominy). Will absolutely make again.

      Very good. I cut down a bit on the spice by not using the can of jalapeno pepper while keeping everything else the same, and it was a nice amount of heat for us. Thanks!

      This was delicious, and so quick and simple to make. I had more beans than turkey, so I adjusted those amounts slightly. In fact, I may make this again using only beans! Did not have monterey jack, but I can imagine how it would enhance the flavor. I did stir in some sour cream, and that really made the dish come alive. Thank you for sharing!

      Excellent! I'll make this even when I don't have leftover turkey or chili. Very easy, too.

      I tried this tonight and it was fabulous. Looked just like the photo and tasted better than expected. I left out the jalapeno peppers because I didn't have any and was scared it would be too hot anyway. It was perfect. I added some fresh parsley and served it with pita chips I had on hand. Wow! This will be a staple in our house.

      This is excellent and the exact recipe I use for chicken chili from another site. I used leftover turkey, probably a little more garlic (I didn't measure), no orgegano because we don't like it, 2 whole jalepenos chopped that I canned from our garden, no chiles, and sometimes throw in a habanero depending on the pepperheads eating it. It is spicy enough for most folks, but some of us like it really hot, great to clear up that head cold! Sometimes we add chopped cilantro when served if we have it, and tortilla chips.

      This was a wonderful dinner. Super easy too. I froze a bag of 2 cups of chopped turkey right after Thanksgiving. Tonight, as it was cold, I pulled it out along with two bags of frozen stock made from the same turkey carcass. This has great flavor. I used colby jack cheese and it was lovely and mild.

      This is superb, and such a great way to use leftover chicken! My husband and I are now devoted fans and will be having this weekly. The only changes I made: I didn't have green chilis so I added extra jalapenos. I also added 1/4 c. cream and some sliced, sauteed button mushrooms (both of which I needed to use up). Served with a side of cornbread, this was a delicious meal. Thank you, KelBel!
