A super yummy Chili from Pampered Chef. Warning: It has a bit of a kick! This recipe does take a bit of preparation, but can be done a head of time or in stages throughout the day (that's what I did). Its worth it!
-3 cups shredded roasted chicken (bought a rotisserie chicken cause I didn't have the time or skill to roast a chicken)
- 6 cloves of roasted garlic (You could take a whole garlic, cut off the very top, drizzle olive oil on top, wrap in foil and bake at 425 for about 20 min. This can be done a head of time and the extra garlic is great just spread on bread or crackers!)
-1 cup onion, chopped
-1/3 cup fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (I only used one lg. pepper)
-3 cans Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed.
-2 tsp. veg. oil
-3 cans chicken broth (I used reduced fat and it tasted good)
-2 Tbl. Southwestern seasoning mix (pampered chef or other brand) or just mix up some red pepper, garlic and onion to equal 2 Tbl.
-1/4 cup lime juice
-1 Tbl. cornstarch
-1 Tbl. cold water
-1/4 cup fresh cilantro, snipped
-salt and pepper to taste
1. Chop onion and jalapeno peppers
2. Drain 1 can of beans, add to small mixing bowl. Gently squeeze garlic from papery skins into beans in bowl; mash with anything you can find! :) Set aside.
3. Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onions, jalapeno peppers; cook about 5 min. until onion is tender. Add chicken, mashed bean/garlic mixture, remaining whole beans(drained), chicken broth, seasoning mix and lime juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes.
4. Combine cornstarch and water, stirring until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture to chili and continue to cooking 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Snip cilantro; stir into chili just before serving.
I served the chili with toasted Parmesan bread and it was super tasty! Enjoy!
Burgers and Fries
During the summer we BBQ several times a week and one new favorite is Turkey Burgers.
This same recipe could be used on beef burgers too.
Ground Turkey Meat
BBQ sauce
Dried onions
Minced garlic
Buns of choice
Frozen fries
To make four burgers, I add about 2 Tb. BBQ sauce, 1 Tb. dried onion and two cloves minced garlic to the ground turkey and mix together well with hands. Then separate into four balls and shape into patties. Grill and place on toasted or regular buns. Add some fries (which take about 2o min. in the oven so get those started before the burgers hit the grill) and you've got a yummy summer dinner.
