My girlfriend and I won a chili cook off with this recipe! We used pepper jack cheese instead but followed the recipe otherwise... Glad we made a triple batch because it was gone in 30 minutes!

This has been a very big hit with my family and friends for the last couple of years. I start with raw chicken on occasion, but it's usually my "go to" recipe to stretch leftover chicken. I use two times the dressing, beans, cumin and chilis and add S&P to taste. Also, to help thicken, I don't rinse the beans -- just lightly drain. Super easy and fast with impressive results!

This is a good recipe but needs some tweeks... definately shread the chicken. Cubed chicken is wierd in chili. Also, I used a taco seasoning packet instead of cumin and it was way better (I have done it both ways). Also, you can substitute the zesty italian with just oil.
