Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Do you ever have one of those days that you just know you're not going to have much time to devote to dinner? But you still want to have a nice home-cooked meal?  I know I do.  The prep time on this soup is under 10 minutes.  Can't beat that!  It is great served with fresh lime juice, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, etc.
 Use tortilla chips to scoop up the soup or crush them and sprinkle them on top and enjoy!
My favorite are the Hint of Lime tortilla chips, but you can use whatever floats your boat.  Or forget the chips and just use a spoon.  It would still be yummy!

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup
modified from Jon and Jen Miller

1 frozen boneless skinless chicken breast
1 can Ro-Tel (I like the lime & cilantro, but the regular is fine)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1/2 TBSP garlic powder
1/2 TBSP chile powder
1/2 TBSP ground cumin


tortilla chips
sour cream
shredded cheese
guacamole ( my favorite recipe is found in THIS post)


Place frozen chicken breast in CrockPot then add all other ingredients.  Stir to mix.  Cook on high 5-6 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.  Before serving remove chicken from soup and shred.  Return chicken to CrockPot and stir to combine.  


Serve with tortilla chips, lime wedges, shredded cheese, guacamole, etc.  


Enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

Since this chicken came into our lives, we have had it for many happy dinners.  I can't claim that every member of my family loves, or even likes, every meal I make, but this is an exception.  There are no complaints with this chicken.  So flavorful! I started out making this recipe with chicken breasts, but have since started making it with chicken thighs which are even more tender and juicy.  Either one works though.  You need to try this out before grilling season is over! I love to serve this with grilled pineapple and coconut rice (see note).  Such a perfect Summer meal!
