Easy Dinner & Date Night

Last Sunday the husband and I went on a little date night which included picking out our Christmas tree and having dinner at one of our favorite Mexican food places. I always love going out for dates but I also love date nights in! So the next night I made this easy chicken chili and we decorated our tree we picked out. Here is a recipe you are sure to love!

Easy Chicken Chili

2 tbs olive oil
1/2 chopped onion
1-2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can small white beans
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can corn (drained) 
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 packet of original chili seasoning
1-2 cups shredded chicken

Toppings

Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese
Tortilla chips for chili cheese Fritos 
Chopped green onions

Over medium high heat saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until tender. While this is cooking mix your seasoning packet with the chicken stock. Then add all remaining ingredients to the pot; do not drain any of the beans or tomatoes, just the corn. Then mix in your seasoning mixture. Cook down for at least 30 minutes. When you are ready to serve I like to lay down some of the chips in the bowl top with soup and then any of the listed toppings you would like, or all of them! I serve mine with warm cornbread and honey butter. This is such a tasty and easy dinner, the prep will only take you 10-15 minutes!

here is our finished tree!
