We had this for dinner tonight and it was a delicious experiment on behalf of my wife. Throwing together ingredients you have on hand can create some good things.
- 1 lb chicken breasts or strips (fresh or frozen)
- 32 oz chicken broth
- 8 small red or gold potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups frozen corn kernels
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small can diced green chilies (optional)
- 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp Old Bay (or your favorite seasoning blend)
- 1 tsp minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chives (for garnish, optional)
In large pot or slow cooker, place chicken, broth, potatoes, onion, chilies, bacon, butter, garlic, and seasonings. Cook on low until chicken is done (30-60 minutes for stovetop or 2-6 hours in slow cooker, depending on chicken). Remove chicken, shred, and return to pot. Stir in half and half and cheeses, and serve when fully heated. Garnish with chives if desired.
At my baptism as an 11 year old Baptist kid I was immersed by the Rev. Monty Jordan. That was an experience I will never forget. For the last sixteen years as a United Methodist and in the last year as an Episcopalian I have seen this sacrament expressed as sprinkling, pouring and immersion. There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism from a Christian perspective. As far as I am concerned the amount of water needed isn’t what is important. Once you are baptized its a thing between you and God and it should stick with you and be honored in your faith journey. Something universal, something timeless, something that brings you into communion with Christ. Today I saw a baptism of a little one at church and it reminded me that being cleansed, is a spiritual act that takes you into eternity.
