Chicken Chili


I have been serving this Chicken Chili to guests for years! Each time I make this recipe for a new audience I am asked for the recipe, but I have dodged and evaded actually sharing the recipe since my Chicken Chili is embarrassingly easy (and inexpensive) to make!!!

Simple, yet healthy ingredients allow my Chicken Chili to be quick to make, filling and delicious!

Ingredients:
2 cups shredded chicken.
2 cups of homemade chicken stock (or 2 cans)
3 cans of Great Northern beans (do not drain)
2 packages of mixed vegetables (or 3 cans- do not drain)
3 tablespoons of taco seasoning mix (or 3 packets)
6-8 cups of water (dependant on canned vegetable liquid)

Open and pour in the 3 cans of undrained Great Northern beans.

Add either fresh or frozen shredded chicken to the crock pot.

See how easy this is? Embarrassing!!! Add the vegetables.
Add the taco seasoning- you'll be amazed at how yummy this soup is!


Finally, pour your chicken stock and the 6-8 cups of water on top and give all of the ingredients a good stirring.

Keeping your crock pot on the low setting, cook your soup for 3-6 hours before serving.


Surprise, surprise... I LOVE to add shredded Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top of my soup!

This soup wonderfully compliments a crusty bread and side salad! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how filling this easy Chicken Chili is!

NOTE:
The shredded chicken and the chicken stock for this recipe are from the chicken that I used for my Chicken Stock post. Half of the shredded chicken was used to make this Chicken Chili recipe.

Quiche




Cheddar and Bacon Quiche
3oz bacon bits
6oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 uncooked pie crust
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1c. half and half, although we will use whole milk

Preheat oven to 400*

Mix all ingredients (sans crust) well and place into the pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350* and continue baking for 35 more minutes. Let your quiche cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Garden Fresh Tomatoes


This is what my kitchen windowsill is adorned with ruby red tomatoes! YUM! I'm actually guilty as charged at snitching a tomato to eat every time I wash my hands... and for those of you who know me well... I eat a lot of tomatoes!

Earlier in the week I noticed that I had a few leftover tortillas from dinner the other night. I decided to sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top of one tortilla, then I diced and spread a layer of (3) Roma's, then layered another thin coating of cheese, topped by the second tortilla. I microwaved this for one minute and then I dipped each yummy bite in sour cream!

Holy cow, this was unbelievably yummy! You've got to try it!
