White Chicken Chili (Updated)

De'licieuse! Delicioso! Delicious! Doesn't matter how you say it, the taste is  amazing. The best part it's ready in record breaking time.
Grab a pack of chicken tenderloins and cut them up in small cubed slices. Get a small onion and dice it. Then melt a little butter in a pan (I like to use butter for the flavor, but you can of course use olive oil or whatever you prefer) and cook the chicken and onion together, seasoning it with salt, pepper and garlic along the way.
 Open your cans of beans and drain them. Place them in a pan pot with some chicken broth and warm. Add your chicken to the beans and toss in your seasoning packet and viola. You just created something amazing in under 15 minutes.

Here's What You'll Need:

1lb. Chicken tenderloins (cut into 1in cubes)
2  (15oz) cans northern beans (drained)
2 cup chicken broth
1 small onion (diced)
1Tbsp garlic powder (or if you're a garlic fan like me, more to taste)
2Tbsp butter (I prefer butter for the flavor)
1(1oz.) package of McCormick white chili seasoning
 Salt and pepper to taste
*Optional*
Sliced avocado, Shredded cheese, and sour cream to garnish.


Here's What You Do: 
1. Heat butter in a pan.
2. Add cubed chicken and diced onion. Toss and add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season.
3.Set aside.
4. In a pot over medium heat, warm northern beans and chicken broth.
5. Once beans are slightly warmed, add chicken and onion mixture to the beans.
6. Add McCormick packet and let chili warm through. 
7. Serve topped with avocado, cheese and sour cream.

Nacho Supreme Recipe

It's Friday! For starters, we had a crazy storm late last night, one that knocked down trees, caused power outages, and closed schools. Thankfully, no lives were lost, just a huge clean up for the community.  My kiddos were technically supposed to be in school today, but they asked if they could stay home, and well, what the heck. I was concerned about their travel and hey, everyone deserves a chance to play hooky once in a while. So we are enjoying this Friday lounging in our pjs and playing video games. I thought it'd be fun to whip up something yummy for lunch, and have been craving nachos like mad lately.
I knew the kids would enjoy a nacho supreme. For this recipe I browned a pound of ground beef in a skillet. Half way through the cooking I tossed in some chopped onions and let them cook for the remainder of the meat cook time. I drained the juices and then tossed in a packet of taco seasoning according to directions.

I sliced a head of lettuce, diced a tomato, and a green onion. I placed the tortilla chops in the oven on 400F degrees for about 5mins. just til warm. Once done I topped the warm chips with meat, lettuce, tomato, a shredded Mexican cheese blend, sour cream and sliced black olives. Delish!


Here's What You'll Need:
1lb. ground beef
1 (1oz). packet taco seasoning  (I use Old El Paso)
1 bag of tortilla chips (I love Santitas)
1/4 onion, diced
1/2 head of Iceburg lettuce, sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
1 (16oz). bag of shredded Mexican style cheese
1 (2.25oz) can of sliced black olives
1 (8oz). container sour cream
1 green onion (optional)

Here's What You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Slice and dice veggies if you haven't done so already.
3. In a skillet over medium heat brown ground beef, adding onions to the pot at the half way point. Drain juices.
4. Add taco seasoning to skillet according to package directions (usually just adding a tiny bit of water to the seasoning and cooking). I like to add a little less water for increased flavor.
5. Spread tortilla chips on cookie sheet.
6. Place in oven for 5-7mins, until warmed.
7. Remove chips.
8. You can now make individual plates, allowing people to choose their toppings, or place chips in a casserole dish and pour meat on top. Add lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Continue with olives and sour cream. Top with green onions (optional). Serve immediately.

BBQ Chicken Wings

 It's football season and these wings are the business! 
Please bare with me on the pictures, as my cammy went capooie a few weeks ago and I've been using my iPhone. You may have guessed that already but, I haven't wanted to talk about it, as it truly has been my worst nightmare. Santa promised me a new one so I am trying my hardest to maintain until then, though I don't know how much more I can take. 
Alright back to the wings...This is a small batch I whipped up for my wife for a snack. But add a few more and they'd make the perfect appetizer for game or movie night. 
 Just rinse your chicken and pat dry with a paper towel. Then take all those yummy spices and blend them in a small bowl.
Grab a baking pan and line it with foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray (or grease it with whatever you'd like). Then place the chicken in the pan. Season the chicken and then flip those bad boys over and season the other side (I usually have a little left over).
  Toss those puppies in the oven for half an hour and brush with bbq sauce. Viola! A score every time.


Here's What You'll Need:
1lb. chicken wings
1tsp kosher salt
1/2 black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp light brown sugar
1/2 cup bbq sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar)

Here's What You Do:

1. Preheat oven to 375 (F).
2. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towel.
3. Mix all dry seasonings together in small bowl.
4. Line a baking pan with foil.
5. Spray foil with cooking spray (or lightly grease).
6. Place chicken in foiled pan.
7. Using your hands lightly season each piece of chicken and then flip to season other side.
8. Place in preheated oven and cook for 25mins.
9.  Remove from oven and brush with bbq sauce.
10. Cook an additional 5-10mins. or until done.
11. Serve with your favorite condiments such bbq sauce, ranch, or blue cheese.
