Real Easy Black Bean Chicken Chili

I know by now you are thinking that all we eat around here is chili!  Well, yes,  we do eat a lot, but it's just that lately we have been trying new versions.  The Black Bean Chicken Chili we made last night goes straight to the top of our list.  Great flavor and didn't feel so heavy.  

We adapted this recipe found at My Recipes, one of our favorite go to sites.

This scrumptious baby takes around 10 minutes to throw together, and 20 to cook.  Not too shabby, huh?

Hope you try this.  And, for now,  I promise to lay off the chili posts!

White Chicken Chili and Can Redo cHECK iT oUT!!!

As the snow began to fall here in central North Carolina today, my thought for dinner was CHILI!  A real favorite around the house, and we have tried numerous versions!  But one from our NC magazine, Our State,  that I spotted on their Facebook page today really got me going!  It's  from the 100 year anniversary recipe book from a Baptist church in Eastern North Carolina.  We made this White Chicken Chili tonight.  Awesome!  Seriously!!!

Only change - we used a roasted chicken from, where else but COSTCO!  Makes my life easier!  And added White American cheese quesadillas for the side.  Perfect dish for a snowy night.  In my house, if everyone likes dinner, it's a HUGE hit!  We'll be making this baby again.  Try it - you will be oh so happy you did.

But wait - that's not all!  While the chili was simmering I washed one of the cans and just see what I did with it here.  Ha!

I had a big time late afternoon craft buzz going and this was so quick and easy.  Until the next one.....

Yea Baby - It's COLD OUTSIDE!

And this is just what the doctor ordered!
