How to Make Chicken Enchilada Chili

This chili is super simple to make. In a Dutch oven, combine chopped cooked chicken, green enchilada sauce, chicken broth, corn, pinto beans, black beans, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, cumin, chili powder, and ranch seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add shredded pepper jack cheese and sour cream to the soup. Stir until the cheese is melted and enjoy.

For quick prep, I use rotisserie chicken for the cooked chopped chicken.

Is Chicken Enchilada Soup spicy? We did not think this soup was spicy. If you are senstive to heat, use a can of MILD Rotel tomatoes.
Can Chicken Enchilada Chili be made in the slow cooker? Yes! Dump the ingredients in the crockpot and cook until hot. Stir in the cheese and sour cream and cook until the cheese has melted.
- If you are making this in the slow cooker, you can substitute two or three raw chicken breasts for the cooked chicken. Shred the chicken with two forks before serving the chili.
Can Chicken Enchilada Chili be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the leftovers for a quick meal later. Let the chili cool completley and transfer to a plastic container or freezer bag and freeze. When ready to eat, thaw and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
For a gluten-free soup, make sure to use a gluten-free green enchilada sauce such as Hatch Medium Gluten Free Green Chile Enchilada Sauce.

What to Serve with Chicken Soup

As I said, this chili has quickly become a family favorite. We’ve made this several times over the past few months and absolutely LOVE it. I have it on the menu this weekend. It is a great recipe to use up any leftover Thanksgiving turkey!!

We like to top the chili with crushed corn chips, jalapeños, sour cream, and more cheese. This is a hearty soup, you don’t need a lot of side dishes to go with it. I usually just whip up some cornbread or biscuits and dig in!
