Black Bean Chicken Chili

I was searching for a chicken chili recipe and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, so I came up with this recipe. I really love this chili! It tastes great and it’s a little healthier than your typical chili. It’s made with chicken instead of beef (If you’d rather use lean ground beef instead of chicken, that’ll work too), and lots of tasty ingredients like onion, garlic, tomatoes, corn, black beans, and fresh cilantro.

Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup

When the weather is chilly and rainy or cold and snowy, soup makes an especially good meal that really warms you up! When I decided to make some chicken soup at the spur of the moment, I didn’t have a lot of fresh veggies on hand, but I did have a large can of homestyle chunky veggies. So I made a really easy chicken soup with that—very chunky and brimming with veggies, noodles, and lots of diced chicken! It’s a little more work than opening a can of soup, but since this is more like homemade, it’s worth the little extra effort!
