White Chicken Chili by Baking Belle

I always like to turn a recipe into a slow cooker recipe if at all possible.  It makes my life easier and it tastes just as good if not better, in my opinion.  This turned out really good!  I added some laughing cow cheese and light sour cream to keep the calories down.   

Baking Belle's White Chicken Chili
2 large chicken breast (it's okay to be frozen because this cooks ALL day)
1 large can corn
2 large cans white navy beans
1 small can of green chilies
1 small onion
2 teaspoons of butter (I used I Can't Believe it's Not Butter)
1 tablespoon basil
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cups chicken broth (I used low sodium, fat free)

Take the onion and butter and saute for approximately 5 minutes.  The, here is the good part - through this all in your crock-pot, stir and cook on low for 8 hours.  Take the chicken out, shred it and stir everything together.  Enjoy!

Chicken Spaghetti ~ Pioneer Woman Recipe

This is BY FAR my favorite new recipe that I have tried lately and it was a hit in our house.  It is from the Pioneer Woman.  Every recipe I have ever tried from her website has been DELICIOUS!  Here is the recipe from her website:

The Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti Recipe


I followed her recipe except I used a rotisserie chicken for a quick week night meal.  It was supposed to be a quick meal...unless......you have an evening like I had last night.  I mixed everything up, popped it in the oven AND forgot the chicken.  So, I pulled it BACK out of the oven, added the chicken and put it BACK in the oven for 45 minutes.  I went to get it out and I FORGOT to turn on the oven.  I had a definite case of mamma brain last night.  Geez!!  On a normal evening...this is a fast fix and it is so good!!  Try it and let me know what you think.

You just mix everything together.

Add noodles and mix.  Cook @ 350 for 45 minutes! 



  • Then EAT!

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup - gotta love a crock pot!

I have a new obsession and it is bad.  Real bad.  It is called Pinterest.  If you have not gone to this website and signed up, you are missing out. For real.  It is basically like organizing all your favorites.  Putting all your favorite recipes, fashion ideas, home inspirations, crafts for kiddos, etc....and organizing them for you BY picture!  It rocks!  I actually found this recipe (*** along with about 152 other new recipes to try) on Pinterest. 

I am enjoying this last months of summer but had to go ahead and break out a soup recipe!!  And, I actually had everything on hand so I didn't have to alter at all.  Here it is.....


Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup 

This recipe is one I found on Pinterest from the blog Real Mom Kitchen. 
There are many other great recipes on this site, so check it out. 

Throw the corn, tomatoes, onion, chopped bell pepper & beans in the crock pot.

Stir everything together. 

Lay the chicken breasts on top. 

Then, pour the enchilada sauce, soup and milk mixture over top. 

This is what it looks like after 6 hours of simmering on low.  Yum!

Loaded!

I added a little cheese, sour cream and homemade tortilla chips!

Enjoy!

Southwest Chicken Wraps ~ oh so yummy!

Okay, yes, I admit.  I am definitely on a wrap kick.....they are easy & delish.  I found another recipe I wanted to try so I did.  I am so glad I did.....

The recipe I found was from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.  Here is the recipe:

Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

Of course, I always alter to my pantry. 

Here is my altered version:

Southwest Chicken Wraps
*Makes 6 wraps*
1 cup cooked rice, warm or at room temperature
1 cup chicken chopped from a rotisserie chicken
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups shredded cheese - I used the taco seasoned cheese & sharp
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
6 burrito-sized flour tortillas

Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla.  Roll stuffed tortillas, using a toothpick to keep them closed. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray.
Bake for 8 minutes @ 425 degrees, then flip and bake an additional 8 minutes.  I served with a dip I made which was 1/2 cup salsa, 1/3 cup ranch & 1/2 cup sour cream.  Enjoy!!
