Slow Cooked White Chicken Chili

Hello Friends and Happy Slow Cooker Saturday!

 

This was my first attempt at making chili using chicken instead of ground beef or ground turkey, and using white beans instead of red kidney or black beans…the verdict is FAIL!

Personally, I like my foods spicy especially chili, but this recipe although was good, was too bland for even my men.  I added hot sauce but it still didn’t jazz it up, so if you like chili with no kick, this one is for you!

Slow Cooked White Chicken Chili

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium frozen chicken breasts
  • 1/2 bag small white beans
  • 1 large can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 package Chili Seasoning
  • 1 cup of water

 

Rinse the beans under cold water and drain, mix Chili Seasoning into a cup of water.

Coat Crock Pot with Cooking Spray

Add frozen chicken breasts and beans

I added more water to cover the beans so they wouldn’t burn.  This may have watered down the seasoning causing it to taste bland.  I should have used two packages of Chili Seasoning.

Pour in diced tomatoes

Taco Turkey or Chicken Loaf

“Use what you got to make what you want was the inspiration for this mid-week meal.

I usually buy Ground Turkey but this week purchased Perdue Ground Chicken, and using ingredients that I already had on hand I jazzed up an ordinary loaf.

Easy Breezy Meal with Kraft Fresh Take

Driving home thinking of what to fix for dinner using ground chicken other than making chili, I decided on mini meat loafs.  I had the Kraft Fresh Take in the refrigerator and had never tried it before so this was a first.  Using the ground chicken, an egg and the Fresh Take mix dinner was easy, breezy and my men loved it.  (I sneaked a bite after eating my Nutrisystem meal).
