White Chili

I really liked this recipe, however I have another one I like better...I just have to find it lol. Try it. You wont be disappointed.

I found this recipe on this site CLICK HERE or read below.



















1 lb chicken, cut up into small chunks (I like to use boneless breasts for their "ease" and lower fat content)
1 cup chopped onion
1 can (or the equivalent) chicken broth
2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
2 tsp Cumin seed (ground will not withstand long cooking as well)
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
3 -15oz cans white beans (great northern or cannellini), drained and rinsed
1 or 2 chopped red, green or yellow bell peppers, or combination
jalapeno chili peppers, fresh, jarred or canned, optional or 'to taste' (depending on how much heat you like!)

Preparation:
In a 4 or 6 quart crockery cooker combine the chicken, onions, chicken broth, garlic, cumin and oregano.

Let cook awhile on low (approx. 3-5 hours, depending on your schedule)
Add drained beans.

Now here is the important part if you don't want mushy chili.. Add the bell peppers and jalapeno peppers (if using) no earlier than the last hour or hour and a half before serving.

Top each serving with shredded Monterrey jack cheese and or broken tortilla chips if desired.

It's been a while since I have posted on our Low Carbies Blog.   The main reason is because of this.... My sweet little baby boy! Thats right! I'm using him as an excuse.   Shortly after finding out I was pregnant.  The craving for carbs was unbearable! After over a year of not eating sugar or white flour, I started again. Now, I regret it.  I ended up with Gestational Diabetes and  I think that was even worse than dealing with the cravings! Well, my little man is now 3 months old  and its time to get back on track.  I really want to get healthy again, maybe not quite as strict. I'm on the search for new low carb recipes. Here's what I've been having for lunch lately! FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD! I've posted a chicken salad recipe before ( HERE ) But this one is a bit different.  Now forgive me because I didn't measure anything so its  based on your own desired amount.  Here are the ingredients.
