Healthy and Delicious Mexican Dinner!

My mother always made this dish in the crock pot.  At the beginning of the summer, Matt and I didn't own a crock pot, but wanted to make this dish.  So, we called his mom up who did it all on the stove, and she gave us her ideas for her recipe.  We combined the two recipes together and found a delicious meal we eat every single week, also under $15!

Chicken Chili:

These are the ingredients you'll need:

·      3 chicken breasts
·      1 white onion
·      1 Green pepper
·      1-2 cloves of garlic
·      2 cans of Great Northern White Beans
·      7oz can of chopped green chili
·      2/3 cups medium salsa
·      4oz sour cream
·      Seasoned Salt or Chicken Bullion
·      Salt and Pepper to taste
·      Shredded Cheese

Prepare: 
(I'll show pics of the process along with the brands of food I get to make  for this meal.  NOTE: I don't have pictures of each ingredient, so be sure to read carefully!)



Boil chicken breasts with 1 cup of water with seasoning or chicken bullion for 15 minutes.



Once chicken has softened, shred the chicken and then put it back in the pot with seasoning/broth.


Chop onion and sauté with garlic cloves on medium-low heat.  Until soft.  Do not brown



Combine sauted onion and garlic, chopped green chilies (don’t drain), chopped green pepper, white beans (don’t drain, makes it thicker), and salsa into the pot with chicken.





Simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.


  

****After an hour, add 2oz of sour cream salt and pepper.****

This is what it looks like when it's finished cooking (it might be darker depending on how much salsa you use!)

Serve:



Add some shredded cheese and enjoy this meal with some tortilla chips!

DELICIOUS!!!
