7. Chicken & white bean chili!

I had a huge pallet of chicken legs I made in the crockpot a coupple days ago, so it's turning out some nice meal options with canned staples...

Used canned white cannelini beans, corn, green chiles... had some celery and zuchini to slip in there... and some onion and half a yellow pepper. Seasoned with cumin, oregano etc. then a couple Tbsp of black bean salsa for fun and a half a roma tomato to use it up. adding a tsp or so of sugar to cut the spice and acid.

That's one of the things I love about chili - it can use almost anything!

Making a big pot of rice and we have tortillas and shredded chese too...

My son is staying with me for a week so it's nice to have someone to "cook for' for a change!
