What's for Dinner??

Dinner is always one of those things on my mind...what am I going to make for dinner tonight? Something everyone will eat...is good for us...and of course easy prepare.

Here's one of my favorite, simple dinner ideas:

Lovin the Livin's White Chili
3 cans Great Northern White Beans (total about 48 oz)
4 cups cooked and cubed chicken breasts
1 T olive oil
1 medium onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves minced
2 4oz cans chopped mild green chilies
2 t ground cumin
1 1/2 t dried oregano
1/4 t cayenne pepper
6 cups chicken stock or canned chicken brother
2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup light sour cream

In crockpot - combine ALL the ingredients except the cheese and sour cream (don't drain the beans). After chili comes to a boil, turn the crockpot to low - Stir in the cheese and sour cream 1/2 hour before serving or leave them on the side for people to do it themselves.

You can serve it with salt/pepper, Lime chips, and avacados on the side as well -

If you really have a lot of time - I BBQ the chicken outside, then cut it up and put it in the soup - but not worth the work unless you're in that cooking mood! Yum! Enjoy!!

If you're following The Shakeology Program, they've got some great dinner ideas as well. The Roasted Chicken and Sweet Potatoes is yummy. And you can't go wrong with Rice Bowls!!
