This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge, and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, and they turned out perfectly. I also added a few chopped green onions to the chipotle cream sauce, which gave it a nice extra flavor.
