Cooking with Chaz

I'm a Mississippi girl, but I was raised in Texas. I'm a singer-songwriter and I'm passionate about food.

Some of it's healthy and some of it ain't....for me, its all about balance.

I love Starbucks eggs bites, but I can’t control the ingredients. SO...I got the silicone Williams Sonoma Egg Bites ($13) I made mine with 2 large brown eggs from my friend Trina, shredded Colby jack cheese and some shaved in house made Central Market Cajun Turkey from the deli. YUM. 1 min and 30 secs in the microwave. You can make ahead and reheat for 10-20 secs in the AM on the go!

I injected this bad boy with jalapeño butter and slathered the inside and the rest of it with garlic salt, parsley and creole seasoning. Now It can marinade until I put it in the oven to slow cook Wednesday night. Can’t wait!

On a cold day in North Texas, like today, I love to make chili. This time I made White Chicken Chili. NOM NOM! and I like it spicy! Recipe below....tag me if you make it and let me know what you think.
INGREDIENTS:
EVOO
1 yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
2 (4.5 oz.) cans green chilies
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds
5 c. low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 (15 oz.) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 c. frozen corn
1/2 c. sour cream
Freshly chopped cilantro, for garnish
1/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack
1/4 c. crushed tortilla chips or cornbread goes great with this too.

DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot, heat oil. Saute onion and jalapeño,cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add chilis, chicken, and broth and season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 to 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Transfer chicken to a plate and shred. Return to pot, add white beans and corn. Bring to a simmer and let cook, about 10 minutes.

Turn off heat and stir in sour cream.

Serve chili into bowls and garnish with cilantro, cheese, and chips, jalapeños or cornbread before enjoying.

Left over rotisserie chicken is totally great to use.

Chickpeas or pinto beans can replace the white beans.

Monterey jack is delicious, but add the cheese of your choice.
You can make this ahead of time!

Leftovers will be good in the fridge for 4 - 5 days.
