White Chicken Chili Surprise

By Courtney 25 Comments

Healthified Corn Bread! (see recipe below)

Healthified Corn Bread

Tonight’s dinner was quite the little surprise: unbelievably easy to do and super delish to boot! Smile

I bought a big pack of chicken over the weekend that needed to be divided up and frozen, so I left out two small breasts to incorporate into tonight’s meal. On a whim, I picked up a packet of this McCormick White Chicken Chili Seasoning Mix after realizing it was both on sale and I had a coupon. You can never pass that up!

Jay had been fighting me on making this for over a week now because he “hates beans,” but since he was working late this evening, I pulled a sneak-attack on him. Winking smile

Let me just say…WOW. I completely underestimated how good this little packet of seasoning could be. The chili has fantastic flavor and definitely quite the kick to go with it. Yowsahs! Surprised smile Better yet, it was done in less than a half hour…SCORE!

I topped my bowl with a tiny dollop of light sour cream, which helped tame down the spiciness.

To my surprise, Jay even came home, first turned up his nose, but then proceeded to eat an entire bowl while proclaiming how good it was more than once.

To go along with my white chicken chili, I whipped up a batch of healthified corn bread…because I’m always looking for an excuse to make corn bread. Winking smile

Topped off with a little real butter = really delicious.

I used the recipe off the back of my corn meal canister, making just a few slight substitutions, which go as follows:

Healthified Corn Bread

Makes 9 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup yellow corn meal
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 egg substitute (or 1 egg OR 2 egg whites)
  • honey, if desired

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add milk, applesauce, and egg substitute to dry ingredients until just combined. Pour into baking dish and drizzle top with honey, if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Enjoy! Smile

While going back out to the kitchen to clean up, I suddenly found myself digging in for a second piece of corn bread. It was too tasty to just have one. And besides…it’s healthified, so it’s ok, right? Winking smile

Time to go settle in on the couch and watch tonight’s Bachelor finale. I have not watched a single episode, but these previews for tonight have totally sucked me in! I LOVE me some TV drama! Smile

**P.S. – I have a pretty sweet GIVEAWAY headed your way tomorrow morning! Be sure to check back to see what’s up for grabs!

Question for the Evening:

What are some of your favorite pre-packaged meals or meal starters?

    I'm making vegetable quinoa soup tonight, and this cornbread sounds like it would go great with it. It's a bummer I don't have corn meal - adding it to my grocery list though! Enjoy your night, Courtney! :)

    I love the McCormick slow cooker chili mix. We make chili 1-2 times per month. You just can't beat it. Plus, leftovers are great on baked potatoes or as nachos!

    Dear Court: Thank you for MAKING my night. You have no idea how many times I have attempted to make a 'healthified' corn bread..there is always something that is just a little 'off.' You know what I mean?? So I CANNOT wait to try this recipe!!! YAY! Also, what recipe did you use for the chicken chili? It looks delicious..and I'm kind of thinking I want this tomorrow for dinner. It just looks THAT yummy :D Thanks for sharing- you rock! Enjoy the Bachelor...I'm watching it now too :)

      Haha, oh Holly you are so sweet! :) I seriously LOVED the corn bread, so I hope you do too! And the chili recipe was right on the back of the seasoning mix package. All it requires is chicken, olive oil, water and white beans! I added a can of diced tomatoes to add a little more flavor. :)

    That looks good! I have always wondered about how their white chicken chili mix tasted - now I will buy it!. The Bear Creek Country Kitchens tortilla soup mix is really good and easy. I just add boiled chicken, a can of tomatoes, and can of mexican corn and serve with baked tortilla chips and lowfat sour cream.
