Good golly miss molly


Another warm-your-soul pot of goodness

Hunter is at band rehearsal again tonight. The guys are working hard, getting ready for their show with Amy Grant in Orlando and the Casting Crowns tour. I'm so excited for what God has in store for them!
So I decided I was going to stay home every night this week b/c life has been on fast forward lately. Tonight, I made white chicken chili.

-Bring a large pot of water to boil with salt and olive oil
-boil 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. chicken (I like to use chicken tenders) for about 15-20 mins. If you're not sure if it's cooked thoroughly, just cut into a thick piece to check for zero pink!
-remove chicken and let cool, reserving 2 cups of the water you boiled
-sautee 1 chopped onion and 1 tsp minced garlic in butter
-bring one 14 oz can chx broth, one can of cream of chx and the 2 cups of water to a boil in large pot
-add the sauteed onion and garlic
-add 1 tsp oregano, 2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
-add black pepper and salt to taste
-add 2 cans white beans, do not drain
-add one 4.5 oz can green chiles
-shred the chx right into the pot (using chx tenders makes this process easier!) and turn to low. -Cover and simmer 15 min.
-garnish with sour cream and shredded cheeeeeeese


And this is the eating process.... just because I'm a dork.
get a big spoonful and blow to cool it down.

slowly place cooled bite in mouth. (can you sense my excitement?)

oh yeah. That's good.
