Chili soup, is one of my all time favorites. whenever I come across chili in any restaurant, I make sure to order that first. It’s a thick hearty soup, a bowl of chili is good enough to fill my stomach, of course with lots of cheese sprinkled over it.
Here is the recipe for making the most delicious chili and that too in under 30 minutes. Hence the name “Express Chili”. This tasted just like restaurant style. Now, I don’t have to rush to a restaurant if I feel like having chili. I could make this in my own kitchen. So let the countdown begin and in 30 minutes you have your bowl of hot chili ready.
Ingredients
- Precooked Chicken breast, diced -2 chicken breasts

Instruction:
