Notes

I use rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken in this soup. You can use any cooked chicken in this recipe. Chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or chicken tenderloins all look great. Cajun seasoning is a mixture of spices used in Cajun/Creole food. It has paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme. Can substitute heavy cream for half-and-half. For a lower calorie option, use turkey smoked sausage. Feel free to add green bell pepper, fresh white onion, celery, or jalapeno for a kick. For a gluten-free soup, use cornstarch for the flour in the soup. This chili can be made in the slow cooker as well. Leftovers can be frozen and reheated.
