Red Chicken Chili

Yum! Two chicken chilis in one week! This one is very different than the first. Here's what you need:
Red Chicken Chili

Saute:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves garlic

Add:
1 can chicken broth
1 can chicken breast
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can white northern (or canellini) beans
1 can diced green chiles
1 jar (16 oz) green salsa
1 can corn (I used frozen)

Bring to a simmer until throughly heated. Garnish with cilantro and corn tortilla chips. This was about 5 minutes of effort and has a fantastic taste. Love it.

5 Minute Chicken Taco Soup

I woke up from a nap today in the mood for homemade soup....chicken fajita soup...but too hungry to take the time to thaw and cook chicken. ENTER canned chicken!

Soup is a wonderful way to use it because you can't tell it came from a can. This is a soup you can make entirely with things in your pantry.

5 Minute Chicken Taco Soup

8 cups water
8 cubes chicken boullion
1 can diced green chiles
1 13 oz can chunk chicken breast
1 can black beans [with jalapenos]
1 can corn
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp onion powder
3 Tbsp lime juice

Bring to a boil and simmer a few minutes, breaking apart the chicken chunks.

Garnish with cilantro, crumbled tortilla chips, shredded cheese.

We inhaled it.
