White Chicken Chili

Week 4: Budgeting

White Chicken Chili

This week I used a few pantry items in my dish

Ingredients

1 can of black beans

1 can of corn

1 can of tomatoes and green chilies

1 tsp cumin

1 tbsp chili powder

 1 tsp onion powder

1 package of cream cheese

chicken breast

Process

First I rinsed and drained the black beans. I placed the chickening the slow cooker. The added the beans, corn, and tomatoes. I measured the spices and put them on top. Then I mixed everything together. After that I placed the cream cheese on top and set the temperature too low. It cooked for about 7 hours. Once it was done, I shredded the chicken with forks and mixed the cream cheese in.

Reflection

I got this recipe from a book of recipes my roommates mom made. I really enjoy making this recipe because it is super quick to prepare, minus the cooking time. It is also a recipe that has a lot of ingredients that would already be in a pantry. I had a really busy weekend so I took 10 minutes to put it together and came home to a dinner. I ended up adding a little more spice than the recipe called for. Once it is finished, I find it the best to eat the chili with scoops chip to add a crunchy texture. It was the perfect recipe for a cold and rainy weekend!
