WONDERFUL place to have dinner!!

White Chicken Chilli in the Crock Pot

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken I use the Bare Chicken Brand from Target
• 1 45 oz jar of great northern beans 
• Saute 1 cup of onions and 1/2 cup of garlic together
• 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
• 1 Tsp Cumin
• 1 Tbsp Cilantro
• 1 can chopped green chilies
• 4 cups of chicken broth (one box)
• 1 Bag of Mixed veggies with red and green peppers
• 2 Stalks Diced Celery - if you want
• ½ cups of plain yogurt - left this as an option for people to add later
• Topping that we like….
• Cheese, Chopped Onion, Cilantro, Avocado, Limes, Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

1. Cut chicken into large chunks and place in your slow cooker.
2. Top with one can of beans,veggies, sautéed onions, garlic and celery.
3. Pour the remaining can of beans in a bowl and smash with the back of a spoon. Stir them around until they are like a paste. Place this bean paste into the crockpot. This will make your chili creamy, without adding cream!
4. In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, cilantro, chilies, and chicken broth.
5. Pour over top of ingredients in the crock pot.
6. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
7. Before serving, stir gently and then stir in the yogurt or leave till later

so fresh 

hard to leave any to bring home

on being POSITIVE

being happy doesn't mean

that you have a perfect life

it means...

you have decided to look

beyond the imperfections...

This winter has been long - 

normally long 

which most of us are not used to!

Like some I too suffer from 

S.A.D 

Seasonal Affective Disorder 

which can be enhanced by my 

Fibromyalgia, Costochondritis and Arthritis

sometimes this can really get to a person

this year I decided to 

"Put on a happy face"

with that...

 keeping active and

being careful what I eat

and trying to keep company with

positive people

its almost the end of February 

and I have faired fairly well - 

even thru some tough blows from

 "Life"

Its hard to focus on the positive

but it really does 

change your outlook on life

try it

you will like it!
