Yummy chili

Just got done eating some awesome white chicken chili D and I made. I got the recipe from a Betty Crocker email and it looked so good we decided to try it. We had pretty much everything and it was great since we had recently gotten about 20lbs of chicken on sale. It's an easy crockpot recipe and oh so tasty and filling.

1 1/4 lbs. boneless chicken breast (we used close to 2 lbs.)
1 (4.5 oz.) can green chilies
2 (15.8 oz.) cans great northern beans (it says rinsed and drained, but we just dumped them in)
1 (15.5 oz.) can white hominy
1 package taco seasoning
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup (we used chicken & mushroom)

Put the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot (uncooked), dump everything else in and set the crockpot on low for 8-10 hours. You can garnish it with green onion and sour cream if you wish, which we did and it definitely added to the flavor. We also can't really ever eat chili without crackers and so we also topped what was in our bowls with oyster crackers.

We started it at around 1:30am this morning and shut the crockpot off at about 11:45 or so. It's the first time we've tried chicken chili, much less white chili, but it was oh so delish. We both had a bowl and wanted a second, but were way too full to get more. Still, I think we're planning on having it again for dinner.

While it probably won't replace our normal tomato based, habenero and ground beef spicy burn your gut chili, it's earned its place as a regular recipe for us.

Foods

I've spent the last couple of days finishing up watching season 2 of Man v. Food on Netflix. It's a show on the Travel Channel where this guy named Adam Richman travels around to different states and goes to three different restaurants (the first two he just tries different dishes they're popular for and the third he does a food challenge). A lot of the food he shows looks REALLY good. In fact, yesterday I watched one where he went to a mexican restaurant and it prompted D and I to make some killer tacos and enchiladas. :-D

Two of the food challenges I'd definitely like to try was one where he was at Tony Luke's in Philly where he had to eat a 5lb. cheese steak sandwich in one hour or less. They'd probably have to wheel me out on a gurney afterwards, but I think I might could possibly maybe do it. The other was called the B3 challenge (Big Badass Burrito). I want to say it was like a 2ft long 7lb burrito. I don't know if I'd be able to do it, but I'd definitely put a hurtin' on it. hehe

In other news, they're calling for possibly accumulating snow here over the next couple of days. It's been in the low to mid 30s since the weekend and, while it feels quite warm out today, that's usually a good sign we're about to get a storm of some sort and it hasn't actually gotten above freezing today.

We've got the wood burning stove going downstairs so if we do lose power, D said we'll just move ourselves down there for a bit if it gets too cold.

Well, off to reheat some pizza for lunch.
