Notes

*Use poached chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken. Or leftover roasted or grilled chicken. You need a whole rotisserie chicken or 2 pounds of boneless, skinless, poached chicken.

  • Use mild, original, or spicy Rotel. If you want to avoid any spice, use a can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead.
  • Use leftover Thanksgiving turkey instead of chicken.
  • You can use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup if you prefer.
