White Chicken Taco Chili

A friend of mine was making a white chicken chili and I didn't have all of the ingredients for that, so I decided to make up my own version of this with what I have in my food storage and in my pantry. I've been testing it all day, and it is so yummy and creamy. It's not too white, because of the taco seasoning, so it's a little pinkish. but so yummy.

Ingredients

1 cup herb and garlic marinade

1 lb chicken tenders cut into pieces

1/2 onion diced

1/2 bell pepper or red/yellow 1/4 of each

1 can white beans

1 can pinto beans

1 can of sweet corn

1 can cream of mushroom soup

3 Tbsp taco seasoning

1/2 cup sour cream

Cook the chicken, marinade, peppers and onions in the crockpot until chicken is no longer pink. then add the rest of the ingredients and simmer all day.

This is a yummy, quick dish that is great on a cold night.

So I made it today. I looked it up on foodnetwork.com and found this recipe by Paula Deen. I made a few changes to it and I'll (*) the changes I made to this recipe. I haven't had any yet, it's our dessert for our dinner tonight. But it sure looks YUMMY!

London Broil Sandwich with BBQ Mayo

After church today I wanted to make a nice lunch for the family, since church was from 11am-2pm. My husband and I didn't have breakfast, and then lunch would be late. So I wanted to have a quick filling lunch. I noticed that my london broil needed cooked. So I told him in about 20 min lunch would be ready... I wasn't kidding. It was a really, really, easy lunch and way yummy.

Ingredients

London Broil

McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning

lettuce

tomato

BBQ sauce

Mayo

Preheat the broiler.chris cross score both sides of the london broil. generously sprinkle the steak seasoning on all sides of the london broil and rub in. Place on broiling pan, and broil on high for 7 min on the first side, then flip and broil on hight for another 8 min for medium rare. Remove from broiler. Then let rest for 5 min.

While resting, mix equal parts mayo and bbq sauce. slice tomatoes, and rinse lettuce. On my rolls which are homemade, I toasted them on a griddle for added flavor and crunch.

This was an amazing sandwich. So yummy and quick. Just what the doctor ordered for us today. A hit all around. Enjoy!
