The Little Chicken That Could

Last week I received my new crock pot and promptly made a tasty crock pot chicken.  This little bird lasted a few meals, one of which was chicken chili.  It's really easy and quick to make, especially since everything is essentially cooked, it just needs to be heated up.  It was a really nice night when John and I got home from work so we decided to take a little walk down the street with the doggies while the chili came together. 

Now, here's the disclaimer for this recipe (I'm not even sure you can call it a recipe).  I never measure anything for it.  I do it all on taste.  But here's what's in it:

1 large can of tomato sauce

 

1 can of diced tomatoes (do not drain)

 

1 can of pinto beans (rinsed)

 

1 can of dark red kidney beans (rinsed)

 

1 Medium onion diced (if you have time)

 

Shredded Chicken

 

HERE'S WHERE IT GETS MUDDY

 

Tabasco Sauce

 

Cumin

 

Chili Powder

 

Onion Powder

 

Garlic Powder

 

Fresh Garlic

 

Salt and Pepper

 

*REMEMBER YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY!

 

 

Stir it all up, set the temperature on medium-low and let the flavors meld.  Taste it once in a while to see what you need to add.  Once it's to the temperature and flavor you like, enjoy!

Enjoy with cheese, sour cream, and some tortilla chips if desired!
