White Chicken Chili


This is another recipe from my aunt Linda. I have tried many different white chicken chili recipes and this one wins, hands down. It's all about the sour cream and whipping cream...mmm!

White Chicken Chili
 
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (14 oz. chicken broth)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 (4 oz.) cans chopped green chilies (you can use one if you want)
2 cloves garlic
1 T. veg. oil
2 cans Great Northern white beans
1 t. salt
1 t. cumin
1 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whip cream
 
Cube chicken & saute with onion and garlic in the oil. Add everything else except sour cream and cream. (add these just before serving). Heat through and serve.
 
*Note - I think it's even better the second day!
 
Enjoy!

Dreamy Crescent Dessert

I cannot take credit for this recipe because it was given to me by my sister's friend, Chipo, but I had to post it because everyone loves it so much. She called it Sopapilla, but I know that sopapilla is something totally different, so I am just calling it "Dreamy Crescent Dessert".

Dreamy Crescent Dessert
