White Chili

Here is a white chili recipe I recently found.  I do this in the crock pot but you can do it stove top too.

1.5 lb chicken breast

1 can white corn or frozen corn (I have used both)

1 can chick broth

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 cans northern bean rinsed and drained (you can also use dried if you soak them first)

taco seasoning packet**

Sour cream, cheese, green onions chopped

Dump everything in crockpot except sour cream, cheese and green onions.  Cook on low 8-10 hours.  An hour before serving take chicken out and shred.  Serve with toppings.

**I made my own taco seasoning:

1 tbsp chili powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp each: cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano and sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Taco Salad

We did taco salad last night. It literally took me 10 minutes to make. Just brown 1 lb. of ground beef and add a packet of taco seasoning. I put corn, black beans, salsa, cheese, ground up nach chips over the lettuce for the salad part. And our daughter loves the ground beeef, beans, and cheese.

Taco Soup

We had Taco Soup tonight (leftover from Sunday) which is so yummy:




Ingrediants: 1 lb ground beef, 1 onion (diced), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 30 oz kidney beans, 30 oz canned corn, 30 oz canned diced tomatoes (all with juices), 2 cups chicken or veggie broth, season with 1 T chili powder and 1 package taco seasoning (I just looked up what is in the seasoning online and put in the individual spices/herbs since I didn't have the mix).



Brown meat and onion in large dutch oven or stock pot. Add garlic and stir. Drain meat.



Add in all cans (I used 2 14.5 oz cans of each) with juice.



Add broth and seasonings. Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer 30 min or so to let flavors meld. Great with Fresh Mex. Salad or rolls. We were in a hurry so just ate it on it's own. Mmmm. I've had 3 bowls today (lunch 1, dinner 2). :D

Southwest Chicken

2 cans kernal corn

2 large cans black beans

6-8 chicken tenderloins (I use frozen)

Large jar of salsa

cheddar cheese



Rinse and drain corn and beans, layer in bottom of crock pot. Pour about a third of the salsa over it. Add the chicken and top with rest of salsa. Cook on high 4-6 hours or low 8-10. You can add cheese the last 5 minutes, or just allow each person to add their own. We serve it with brown rice and chips, or make borritos out of it. It also freezes well!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rhianna, I have almost that same recipe! Except without hot sauce. We use hamburger and taco seasoning (1/2 package), but don't prepare it as taco meat.

My MIL made that the other day with black beans in it as well. I thought that was good!
