[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 586362, member: 4264"] We love crock pot meals. On Friday I made a chicken chili which makes a massive amount so I'm serving it as part of a luncheon tomorrow that I'm hosting here. In a crock pot mix: 2 cans diced tomatoes (You can use those blends with hot peppers if you like, I use large cans) 1 can tomato sauce (not pasta sauce, just simple tomato sauce) 3 cans beans (I use a blend. This time I used a six bean blend, a can of black beans and a can of brown beans. I rinsed all but the brown beans) 1 can corn -drained (You can skip this but I like the crisp) *Can use frozen or fresh off the cob 1 large onion, chopped chili powder to taste cumin to taste hot sauce to taste (Spices are flexible, use your favorites, or in a pinch, the premade chili or taco seasoning packets) Turn crock pot on low, place 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts on top and push down with spoon until just covered. Cover crock and allow to cook all day, or overnight. (This tastes even better after it sits. I often put it on overnight, turn it off in the morning and then serve at dinner when flavor grows even more) Using tongs, remove chicken breasts to plate. Chicken will be so tender you can "shred" it to stringy chicken pieces using two forks. Return back to crock pot for about another hour or so on low. This freezes very well, so don't fear the massive amount of chili you get from this recipe. I also sometimes divide leftovers. I freeze two large dinner size portions, enough for a decent meal for all of us. I either just thaw and reheat later, or you can add more beans and cooked rice and use it a couple of ways. Sometimes I use it in a casserole dish and sprinkle some cheese on top and put it in the oven to reheat. Other times I skip the cheese, bake in oven (it helps meld the flavors into the rice and make it drier). I then use it as filling in wraps, top with a little sour cream and fresh cilantro before folding the wrap. [/QUOTE]
