White Chili

I am trying to come up with healthier recipes for the new year!  I am working on being completely gluten free which has been very hard for me.  Here is a really simple and healthy white chili recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 cartons of low sodium chicken stock
• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 can green chilies
• 1 small can of white beans, drained
• 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 to 2 thinly sliced green jalapenos
• 1 to 2 thinly sliced red jalapenos
• Greek yogurt or low fat sour cream to top (optional)
• sliced avocado to top (optional)
• Scallions to top (optional)

Directions:

1. Bake the chicken in the over for 20-25 minutes at 350.  I usually coat the chicken with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper before baking. The chicken doesn’t need to be fully done because it will be going into a crockpot FYI.
2. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. Cut chicken into thin slices and place into crockpot along with the chicken broth, green chilies, beans and jalapenos.
4. Cook in crockpot for up to 8 hours and serve.
5. This recipe was meant for 2 people (approximately 4 servings).  Double the recipe to make more.  This recipe only filled my crockpot half way.

This is a super simple recipe, so you can always add more veggies if you wanted!
