25 Simple Meal Train Dinner Ideas
This week I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to make a meal for a friend whose husband had surgery.

You gave me the best ideas and I promised to share. So here is the amazing list of ideas:

Below are a few recipes that were shared with me:
White Chicken Chili
1 Rotisserie Chicken
1 Med. Onion chopped
4 Cups Mexican cheese, shredded
1 TBSP Veg. Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1tsp Oregano
1 can chopped Green Chiles
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Can Rotel tomatoes and Green Chiles
3 Cans of Great Northern Beans (white beans)
1 (16oz) Sour Cream
2-3 Cans of Chicken Broth (depending on how thick you want the chili to be)
I purchase my rotisserie chicken already cooked and then pull all meat off of the bone. Place chicken pieces in large crock-pot. Place oil in pan and sauté chilies, onions, garlic, oregano, salt, cayenne pepper and cumin until onions are tender. Add sautéed mixture to crock-pot. Add great northern beans, Ro-Tel, and chicken broth. Cook in crock-pot for 3 hours. Add sour cream and cheese and cook for 30 more minutes. Enjoy!
