White Chicken Chili (Allison's)

This chili is sooooo good! Thanks Allison!

1 lb. chicken breast
1 t. Ground cumin
1 onion
1 t. dried oregano
2 cans White Northern Beans, 15.5 oz cans drained and rinsed
1/2 t. pepper
1/4 t. Cajun seasoning
1 can chicken broth (14 oz)
Garlic powder (enough to sauté onion)
2 cans chopped green chilies (4 oz. ea.)
1 T. butter (to sauté onion)
1 t. salt
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. whipping cream
Cut chicken into small pieces. Put it in a zip lock bag with a little Cajun seasoning and garlic powder (in addition to the amounts listed above). Seal bag and shake until chicken is coated. Then fry chicken.

Cut up onion and sauté in butter and garlic powder.

In a large pot, add chicken, onion, chicken broth, chilies, salt, cumin, oregano, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, add sour and whipping creams, and stir.

Crescent Chicken (Aimee's)

3-4 LARGE chicken breasts (around 4 lbs)
1 TB italian seasoning 1TB minced garlic, dash salt / pepper to taste (for seasoning chicken)
1 pkg pillsbury big and flaky crescent rolls (you will use 6)
1/2 cup diced onion, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup 2 % milk

Preheat oven to 350

Saute chicken in generous amount of olive oil, add italian seasoning, salt and pepper and garlic along with onion, and bell peppers when chicken is almost done. 

Spray a 9x13 glass pan with Pam, unroll crescent rolls, place each roll in as pictured, with tails hanging out of the sides of the pan.

Spoon chicken mixture evenly into each crescent triangle (some will fall out, thats ok)
Top with about 1/3 the cheddar cheese

Pull the tails over the chicken and tuck under each "roll" - it will look funny, like it is not even close to covering the chicken mixture, that's ok!

Mix can of cream of chicken and cup of milk in a bowl and dump on top of chicken rolls.
Top with the rest of your cheddar cheese

Bake at 350 for 40 minutes
You will be able to scoop each roll out with a spatula and have lots of yummy sauce :-)
We serve with a side of broccolli
