Cheesy White Chicken Chili

We got hit with a winter storm yesterday & having a big bowl of this hearty soup was the perfect way to stay warm with the ice & snow coming down! Leftovers were just as good today after playing out in the snow!



Cheesy White Chicken Chili

2 boneless skinless chicken breast
2C chicken stock
1 can corn - drained
2 cans great northern beans - drained
1 (4oz) can chopped green chiles 
1T chili powder
1tsp cumin
1/2tsp cayenne pepper
1T dried cilantro
1 1/2tsp garlic powder
1/2c heavy whipping cream
1/2lb Velveeta - cubed
Tortilla chips, sour cream & shredded pepper jack cheese for garnish

In a large crockpot add the chicken, stock, corn, beans, & seasonings. Cook on low for 6 hours. Remove the chicken & shred with a fork. Return to the crockpot. Add the whipping cream & Velveeta. Cook for another 1-2 hours, stirring occassionally until the Velveeta is melted.

Bavarian Pot Roast & Baked Garlic Green Beans

I love reviewing recipes for Taste Of Home magazine! They are always winners!! These 2 recipes were no exception! An easy throw together slow cooker (just add all ingredients to the slow cook, cook on low for 6-8 hours) main dish & the side dish comes together in under 20 minutes! Our whole family really liked this. The cinnamon in the roast adds great flavor. I also added a couple tablespoons of bacon bits to the green beans, which gave them a nice smoky flavor.

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

This was such a super easy meal to make!! It has a bit of a bite but it's not spicy at all. I used jalapeƱo cheddar tortillas for extra flavor. 


Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

2 boneless skinless chicken breast - cooked & shredded
1 (4oz) can chopped green chiles
1 (28oz) can green enchilada sauce
3/4c sour cream
2c shredded pepper jack cheese
10 flour tortillas

In a large bowl mix together the chicken, green chiles, 1/2c of the enchilada sauce, the sour cream & 1/2c of the cheese. Evenly divide the chicken mixture onto the tortillas. Roll up & place in a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over top. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese & bake an additional 15 minutes.
