Easy Chicken Chili and Cornbread

This pairs well with my Easy Cornbread below.

Easy Chicken Chili Ingredients:

  • 2 Great Northern Bean cans drained & rinsed (or white beans)
  • 4-6 Cooked and cubed chicken thighs
  • 1 Jar salsa (your choice)
  • 1-2 Cans of corn (don’t drain)
  • 1- 8 or 16 oz Block of pepper jack and/or monterey jack cheese

Combine all these ingredients in your crock pot and cook on low for 4-8 hours. DELICIOUS!!

 

Easy Cornbread Ingredients:

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup White sugar (can use up to 2/3 cups if desired)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 3 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Butter a pie pan or an 8×8 glass pan. Mix together all 5 dry ingredients.  Next, in a separate bowl, mix together the 3 wet ingredients. Then combine all the ingredients into one large bowl by turning the batter over onto itself until it no longer shows any dry ingredients. (Important…Do not overmix.) Pour the mixed batter into your greased glass pan and cook for about 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  DELIGHTFUL!!

Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray the muffin pan with nonstick oil. Beat the eggs and add the onion and spices. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin pan until it is half full and then add your favorite toppings.
