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!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
