White Chicken Chili

It has been raining here, nonstop, thanks to Tropical Storm Debby.  We are under tornado watches, flood watches, severe thunderstorm watches... all kinds of fun stuff.  I was supposed to have class tonight, but it was cancelled because my professor is unable to get out of her neighborhood due to flooding.

I had no plan for dinner.  I still hadn't made a menu, or a grocery list.  Now I plan on getting hurricane supplies to get us through the season the next time I go to the store.

When I got home this afternoon, I thought that comfort food would be a good thing for dinner.  Something warm and tasty would be perfect this rainy evening.  I decided on white chicken chili in the crockpot since it is super simple to make.  I use a prepackaged seasoning mix made by McCormick for "White Chicken Chili".  The only thing I had to cook was the chicken before putting it all in the crockpot.

Here is what I did:

Cubed 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast, sautéed until cooked
1/2 red onion, diced and sautéed
1 Tbs minced garlic sautéed
1 cup of water
1 envelope McCormick's White Chicken Chili seasoning
1 can Rotel tomatoes
2 cans white Northern beans
Salt/Pepper to taste

I browned the chicken, onion and garlic in a skillet until it was cooked, mixed all other ingredients in the crockpot, and added the chicken mixture.  I cooked this on high for 2 1/2 hours until it was bubbly goodness.

So, now the only thing I have left to do this evening is homework for my class tomorrow evening.  It is good to have dinner out of the way, especially since I didn't cook one thing all weekend.  Well, with the exception of an omelette on Saturday morning.  I have to get back into the swing of things!
