Quick White Chicken Chili created by Jessi Leigh

If you're feeling a little lazy, just buy a store-bought deli rotisserie chicken and shred it. It's faster and easier than cutting up the chicken.

Did make a bit of an adjustment when putting this together ~ I used a little less than the teaspoon of cumin, & left out the 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper! This was an unusual chili for us, but we did thoroughly enjoy it! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
