{White Chili}

White Chili
  • 3-4 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 2 Cans White Navy Beans (don't drain)
  • 2 Cans Corn ( don't drain)
  • 1 Pound Velveeta Cheese (cubed)
  • 1 Can Rio-Tel Diced Tomatoes w/green chilies (don't drain)
  • 1 Medium Onion, chopped

Boil chicken breasts until done (45 min). Reserve 1 cup of the chicken broth. Shred chicken and add broth to a 5-quart crock pot. Add all other ingredients to the crock pot (it will fill the pot) and cook on high for about 3-4 hours. Stir when needed.

*I really tend to use leftover chicken for this meal....or even leftover pork (like a pork roast).....if not, I would pouch the chicken which is just a fancy word for boiling it with seasonings lol.....like salt & pepper to start nothing fancy if ya don't want to and I usually use canned chicken broth lol to boil the chicken in lol and put that in with the chili.  I also drain all the canned things in the recipe....I like a thicker chili.....so this is something that you just have to know about yourself and play with.  :-D
Have fun & Happy Cooking!!!!  :-D

{*Edit to Menu Plan*}

* I wanted to make an edit to our menu plan.  We were completely blessed yesterday.  I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about this as I'm typing.  My friend called me yesterday.....and not that we haven't talked or anything.....we just haven't been able to make our schedules work lately.....you know how life gets sometimes......so she calls me kinda out of the blue.....and asks me if we could use some ground beef!!!  I said "You have NO idea!" So she comes over with THREE groceries bags FULL of all sorts of different meats!  I couldn't believe how blessed we were!!!  It really was such a blessing in such a stressful time!
Thank you Lord, and Thank you Tiffannie!!!  :-D 
So we will be able to make a few changes to our menu planning!  Not quite so much chicken....not that we don't like chicken!  lol  :-D

Yay! Two weeks in a row! lol :-D
It's going to be a rough couple of weeks for us. So I'm making these next two weeks meals from things that we already have on hand and in our pantry. It will be a stretch this time, but I'm sure I can do it. So, I'm going to put up my meal ideas that I have for the next two weeks.


  • homemade chicken nuggets and homemade french fries (I made this tonight for dinner and it was a HUGE hit with my family!)
  • pancakes
  • chicken parmasean
  • pasta bake with bratwurst
  • tuna casserole
  • bbq chicken legs
  • spilt pea soup
  • hot dogs
  • chicken tortilla soup
  • roasted chicken
  • chicken & stuffing casserole
  • crispy oven-roasted rosemary chicken with sausage & potatoes

I did a lot of roaming on http://www.allrecipies.com/ and will be trying some new recipes from there with the ingredients that I have. If we like them I'll share them. lol There's some recipes that I've been wanting to share that I have misplaced.....So as soon as I find those I'll get them on here. :-D
