Okay, I am one of those "cooks" who like to make things from scratch, or at least use a recipe from my Paula Deen cookbook! Unfortunately in my pursuit of simplicity, I don't seem to have the time or desire to be Paula Deen in the kitchen. So, I have decided to dust off my good ol'crockpot, purchase ready made meals, and look for easier ways to prepare our dinner! While shopping last week, I went to the seasoning mix section. I normally pick-up pot roast & basic chili seasoning packs, but this trip I decided to look for new and fast ideas for dinner. I came across and selected a White Chicken Chili mix by McCormick. To my surprise it only required a couple of items to complete the meal. You may have already discovered this time saving find, but for me I tend to be a day late and a dollar short! HAHA!
Last night I decided to prepare it for dinner and it was delicious and different. Curt loved it!
Here is what I did to add a little flavor, but I am sure it is just as good without the added ingredients.
1 pack: McCormick White Chicken Chili Seasoning Mix (makes 4 servings)
2 cans: Bush's Northern Beans (calls for one, we like beans)
1.5 lbs: Chicken 1/2" cubes (I purchased a bag of frozen chicken breast tenders)
1 cup: chicken broth (mix calls for water, I used broth instead)
1 sm can: diced tomatoes with green chillies (I added this)
Prepare according to package with substitution of broth for water, and adding the tomatoes.
Serve with cheese and sour cream.
It took about 20 mins for preparation and cooking. FAST, FAST, FAST!
ENJOY!
