Healthy Chicken & White Bean Chili

This recipe comes from the South Beach Diet Cookbook, but does not lack taste!  It is the kind of meal you can feel good about eating, and satisfied and full at the same time.  The ingredients are minimal, and most you probably already have in your pantry, which makes it inexpensive as well.  For a little decadence top with a little reduced fat cheese and reduced fat sour cream (or greek yogurt, which tastes just like sour cream but is packed with protein).

This recipe is super quick, so it's great for a week night meal.  I would imagine it would freeze well too, if you wanted to double the recipe and save some for the future.   It took about 10 minutes to prep and get cooking, and about 30 minutes overall (but only 10 of hands on time).  Also, the original recipe called for turkey, but for some reason stores around here do not carry turkey breast/cutlets outside of November!!!  So, chicken it was.  You could probably play with the types of beans used as well (navy, black, pinto, kidney..would all be good).

Ingredients

Saute onions and garlic

Put the seasoning on the chicken (kind of reminds me of taco seasoning!)

Combined ingredients

Low Carb Chicken White Bean Chili

    I love that the chicken magically changes to turkey while cooking 🙂 Seriously, I have been looking for a recipe like this and can't wait to try it!

      I am so confused by your comment! LOL! This recipe uses chicken throughout, not turkey, although I was inspired by a turkey recipe....
