I purchased the new Santa Fe Philadelphia Cooking Creme last week and decided I’d substitute it for the chili seasoning called for in my white chicken chili recipe. It was to die for!!
It was easy to make and a hit with the whole family, even my three boys, ages, 5, 6 and 9! The cooking creme made it creamy not spicy so we didn’t need to add sour cream like we usually do to tone down the spice for their taste buds!
Here’s how I made mine:
Cook diced chicken in frying pan w/ onions until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Then add the Santa Fe cooking creme, frozen (but thawed) corn, Northern White Beans (or black beans if you like – or both for a better blend of flavors and textures!) and about 2 cups of water. I tossed in some taco seasoning for a little more flavor, was maybe just a shake or two of my taco seasoning shaker, you can omit this if you like. I don’t ever measure my ingredients, and tend to just hope I can remember ingredients for the next time. My husband says this makes every meal unique! The consistency is more like a Southwest Chicken corn chowder then a chili but either way, it’s delicious!! We had cornbread as a side and everyone had more than one bowl!
The week before we’d tried the Italian flavored Cooking Creme in a pasta recipe that came with it and it was also a hit w/ the whole family!
I was excited to have bought these w/ $1.50 off coupon from the Sunday paper and I definitely got my money’s worth. I will definitely be keeping my eye on price and the papers for coupons, but I admit I picked up a third container last week without a coupon because I wanted to try another kind after having such great recipes with the first two attempts!
You should try if you are looking for ways to add variety to your meals or make mealtimes easier!
