Fish and Veggies Baked in Foil Packets

Not a very fun name, but that is what it was called on the recipe I had gotten. I am not even sure where I got it from? I printed it off and it didn't have any type of web address on it. Anyways, I was looking for some fish recipes. Casey and I have a food delivery system called Blue Ribbon that delivers organic food to our house. In return I have new foods that I have never cooked before. So I was looking for some fish ideas and ran across this one. It seemed easy enough. Fish is something new I am experimenting with these days. I think a lot of people are like that with fish, but so far I have had great success and it has been very easy. The recipe called for Tilapia, which I had, but I also had orange roughy so I used some of that too! Casey said he preferred the orange rough, but they were both really good.
Tilapia Fillets ( 1 per packet)
Mrs. Dash seasoning (or any seasoning you prefer)
Tomatoes, sliced
Green Onions, Chopped
Green Peppers, sliced
Basil, chopped
Lemon Juice
Olive Oil
Aluminum Foil to wrap fish

I just cut off a few pieces of aluminum foil and shook some olive oil on it so the fish will not stick. Place a fillet in the middle of the foil. Shake your seasoning salt and basil on the fish. Next layer your veggies on top of the fish. Give each piece of fish a few shakes of lemon juice. Wrap the foil around the fish loosely to make a packet. Bake at 450 for 20 mins

Tada!! It was very good and definitely something I will try again. I may even add some more or different veggies to it like squash, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, etc...

I served it with Wild Rice (Uncle Ben's quick cooking-5 min rice) and Green Beans.
I forgot to take a picture, but I will next time and add it to the blog. I know for me I want to see it! Very visual :) I want to see the yummy-ness.

White Chicken Chili

This is a goody that I ran across. It is starting to get cold here in TN and this sounds like the perfect thing to make for dinner this week. I am not sure if I have altered the recipe or not, but the first time I had this was at Bunko with my good friend, Bethany. Hope you enjoy it as well.
However, if you want to make this dish as easy and as fast as possible, I find that rotisserie chicken is extra juicy and is the perfect texture for this recipe. Plus, it pulls apart into great shreds for this delicious white chicken chili recipe.

White Chicken Chili

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cups cooked chicken (I usually use an oven-baked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to save on time), shredded
• 2 cans Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can corn, drained
• 1 can (4 ounces) green chilies (optional-sometimes I leave these out)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1 box (32 ounces) chicken broth
•  salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• 1 lime, juice

Directions:

1. In a large pot, saute the onion and cook until it starts to become translucent.
2. Once the onion is done, add shreds of chicken, Great Northern Beans, corn, green chilies (with juice from can), cumin and oregano to the large pot. Stir to combine all of the ingredients and then add the chicken broth.
3. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes to allow the broth to reduce. Add salt and pepper (to taste) and juice from one whole lime. 
4. Leave simmering on stove until ready to serve.
5. Serve with sour cream, shredded Jack cheese, or tortilla chips.
